#initialize(path) ⇒ Connection

Create a new connection to the bus for a given connect path. path format is described in the D-Bus specification: dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#addresses and is something like: “transport1:key1=value1,key2=value2;transport2:key1=value1,key2=value2” e.g. “unix:path=/tmp/dbus-test” or “tcp:host=localhost,port=2687”
