The property should be "connection" IMO rather than "manager" and the
manager object should remain private.

You need to use the "private" feature of GObject to move the fields of
DBusGProxy into a private struct. See g_type_class_add_private, etc. GTK
has some examples of using it iirc you could grep for. There should be
no public fields, only accessors (properties, functions).

The "connection" property would take a DBusGConnection I think.
