Client authentication in python

Hello,

I'm trying to use the Bus.get_unix_user function to authenticate clients
accessing a dbus service. This seems to be impossible with the current
bindings because the dbus message or service name of the client is not
passed to the service when receiving a remote call. The
explicitly_pass_message decorator can be used to get the dbus message,
but only works for signals.

Is there some other way to use the get_unix_user for client authentication?
