dbus-glib is very idiosyncratic - it's not really a GLib binding, but
rather a GObject binding. It's designed for GObject application
programmers, following GObject conventions and assumptions, and I think it's
unlikely to make a good platform on which to implement any other binding.
Other environments like Qt (and for that matter Python) have their own
incompatible conventions and idiosyncracies.

The only part of dbus-glib I use in dbus-python is the main loop hook -
I believe that's all Alp uses GLib for in his .net bindings, too.

As I've said previously, I plan to work on main loop abstractions in
dbus-python in a couple of weeks - that work might turn out to be a
useful prototype for an alternative way to handle multiple main loops in C.
