No, the methods may be no_reply.

If the reloading isn't fast enough, one will get a timeout error message.

I didn't check what the code does, but I know for gnomemeeting I have 
quite a few methods which don't reply anything because the answer, if 
any, will take way too long to come. In that case I use signals : 
perhaps a "ConfigReloaded" signal would do the trick ?
