The interface assumes object paths will always be in terms of the service 
initiating the call, i.e. when :1.234 calls something in o.m.n.n.c.EFnet 
with an object_path="/o/m/n/n/f/example", o.m.n.n.c.EFnet is to expect the 
fully-qualified object path is :1.234/o/m/n/n/f/example. When 
o.m.n.n.c.EFnet emits a signal with object_path="/o/m/n/n/f/example", all 
receivers are to expect the fully-qualified object path to be 
o.m.n.n.c.EFnet/o/m/n/n/f/example.
