Ok, that makes sense, but some sort of warning or something when trying 
to use 'o' as the arg type might be desired.  I also assume that this 
means I have to re-emit the signal on the client side as a pure glib 
signal, that I'll need to handle it in the dbus code, grab the proxy 
object, and then emit it off of that.  The only concern I have with that 
is, is it going to get transmitted back over dbus or is it smart enough 
to realize i'm retransmitting it as a pure glib signal?
