Thiago,

Thanks for the reply.

I use dbus_connection_read_write_dispatch and a  filter func that just does
dmessage_get_args and returns NOT_YET_HANDLED.

The send thread does something like this

dbus_bus_get()
dbus_message_new_signal()
dbus_message_append_args()
dbus_connection_send()
dbus_connection_flush()

All the calls other than flush returns without error. I assume thats because
they dont use the transport?

Do i still need the main loop you are talking about in the above simple
scenario?

Thanks,
-K
