My issue is not solved, unfortunately. I don't know how to do, it's been a while I am trying to do that: <a href="http://pastebin.ca/108858">http://pastebin.ca/108858</a> Basically, I have a proxy_for_name_owner, and I would like to be notified when the service-object is unref or when the service is released. If it's not possible, I will add a "disconnect" signal to my service... but I guess it's bad,... and unnecessary. My understanding is that the ":1.xx" is still there after the unref, and that's why the proxy is not notified. Should I listen to NameOwnerChange instead ?

If you want the remote app to exit, you have to do that in some custom way, e.g. by having it include an Exit method. Or for example if you want a "single instance" app, you can have each instance exit if it loses ownership of a bus name, and allow one instance to take over the bus name from an existing instance.
