<div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I'd recommended looking at gabble_media_channel_list_streams in <a href="http://projects.collabora.co.uk/trac/telepathy/browser/src/gabble-media-channel.c"> http://projects.collabora.co.uk/trac/telepathy/browser/src/gabble-media-channel.c</a> for an example of how to do this. </blockquote></div> Ok so from what I understand now.   The process is to: Make a new GValue.    Initialize it to a special boxed type that we get through dbus_g_type_get_struct(...) Insert values into the special boxed type gvalue  using dbus_g_type_struct_set At this point we have the special structure which DBUS sees as a struct.   If I want an array of them I just add them to a GPtrArray This seems like a lot of work, maybe I could just go with my quick fix and break it into array of the pieces.  Is there any better or quicker way to facilitate transporting a C struct across DBUS (preferable with GLIB bindings)?
