It was possible to marshal it, however instead of a reply an error message with the following name and message was received: <blockquote>org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Disconnected Connection was disconnected before a reply was received </blockquote> The error message's serial is 0 so I assume that the dbus implementation stepped in. Of course it is fine, if an error is raised if wrong UTF-8 encoded data is transmitted, but would it be possible to have instead a more meaningful error message returned, indicating the problem at hand? (It took me quite some time to trace this down as the error message was not really informative in this case.) ---rony </body> </html>
