What are the update methods?  Looking at dbus_connection_dispatch in
dbus-connection.c:3472
(http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/api/html/dbus-connection_8c-source.html#l03472),
it looks like the dispatch method inherently makes updates, but I
don't think that's what you were referring to.

I've pulled the most recent version of the Python bindings out of git
and compiled them against my system DBUS (0.62), so if you can send me
pointers on where to start adding signal handling for Python, I'll
start hacking.

Thanks,
