Oh, crap. Yeah I remember this problem, I guess I didn't realize the
tests were failing because of it though.

Basically the client should know the org.whatever -> :1.1 mapping.

See also the docs for dbus_gproxy_new_for_service() (binds to a given
service even as the owners change) and
dbus_gproxy_new_for_service_owner() (binds to a :1.1 i.e. specific app
instance).

If the event is received at :1.1 then proxies done with
new_for_service() should still get the event since the ProxyManager
should know that org.whatever is owned by :1.1.
