[Telepathy] Connecting a remote DBus Object over a DBus Tube

[tomw]

It seems I found my (pretty dumb) mistake. Using Dbus Objects which are
classes of the respective client works perfectly well implementing the
object with the relevant methods on both side of the tube.
 
My assumption was, that I should be able to connect to any arbitrary
object on the SessionBus like I would do locally ("D-Bus Tubes allow you
to share a private D-Bus bus between two or more clients, proxied over
Telepathy"). But it's pretty obvious, that it can't work as the
"independent" object is not connected to the tube. Calling such objects
from connected object works perfectly well.

thanks, guys
