In your code (in client.c), you send a signal but do not set the
destination field with dbus_message_set_destination. In this case, the
bus will send the message to all connected applications that have set
a match rule matched by this signal. So, you need to either:

 - modify client.c by adding a 
      dbus_message_set_destination (message, "the_service_owned_by_your_server");
   only the designated service will receive this signal.

 - modify server.c so that it adds a match rule, e.g :
      dbus_bus_add_match (connection, "type='signal',path='/your/object'")

Also, do not use dbus_message_set_sender in the client, this intended
for the bus. (And indeed there was a bug).
