We used to do something just like this, as an option to si-cli, but it was
never used and caused problems for the test suite, so it eventually got ripped
out.

It really shouldn't. It would be possible to tweak it directly via sqlite,
but that's crazy talk. And really, it most common cases it will only get
changed via D-Bus anyway.

Don't forget that si-dbus is *designed* to self-exit after a timeout, by
default 10 minutes. It gets re-D-Bus activated on demand.
