It is meant to run with the internal regression test suite (make check).
I'm not sure if GLib has standalone example code. In D-Bus we often make
a distinction between tests and examples.  Examples show how to use the
public functionality where as tests are often hacks which run under
tight environments and use calls which are not public API in order to
test base functionality and regressions.
