</div>Your patch looks reasonable at first glance; if you want to add this<br>
functionality, please open an 'enhancement'-severity bug on <a href="http://freedesktop.org" target="_blank">freedesktop.org</a><br>
to track it (or reuse an existing one if it would fix an existing bug). If<br>
possible we prefer patches in the format produced by git format-patch, so we<br>
can preserve attribution.<br>

The reason I'm not particularly enthusiastic about merging this is that GDBus<br>
(in GLib >= 2.26) is probably a better choice for new GObject D-Bus code,<br>
particularly in the presence of threads. dbus-glib has various design flaws<br>
and, in practice, mostly isn't thread-safe.<br>
<br>
If you're doing this for multi-threading support, please look at the list of<br>
dbus/dbus-glib bugs that mention threads and consider whether you really want<br>
to be doing that, and are able to debug the results...<br>
