The component of ROX that receives the message is written in C, but that
is trying to read DBUS_TYPE_INT32 anyway. The capplet sending the
message is pure Python and has no control over the type, because it just
calls rox_settings.SetInt(self.name, self.int_value) where rox_settings
is a dbus object. I've tried the int cast operator on int_value, but
that doesn't help.

I don't see how the problem can be anywhere else but in the dbus
library. MessageIter.append_int32 has changed between the two APIs.
