Well, you see, that's the problem, actually.

The Python bindings need to be changed. When I use add_signal_receiver,
I have to specify the sender. Yes, I know I can just set it to None, but
then it wont match in _signal_func.. When _signal_func receives a
signal, it generates a string from it:
"type='signal',interface='com.something.interface',sender=':1.31',path='blah..."

It then uses that string to find a matching function in a dictionary.
And of course there is no such string, because when I set up my
listener, I don't know the sender. For all I know, the sender doesn't
even exist yet. 

I've only just started learning python a this Monday, so I'm not the one
who should be refactoring this stuff. :-)
