First, thanks for your answer ...
Ok, I see. But I didn't get it to work. I see 2 main problems here for me:
1.) glib doesnt provide a matching closure. Do I have to implement it by
myself ? If yes, is there any doc outside on how I can do this ?
2.) If I add a signal at client side:
    dbus_g_proxy_add_signal (proxy,
            "kbd_event",
            G_TYPE_INT,
            G_TYPE_INT,
            G_TYPE_INVALID);
and register the same signal on server side, like this:
    g_signal_id = g_signal_new ("kbd_event",
                        G_TYPE_OBJECT,
                        G_SIGNAL_RUN_LAST | G_SIGNAL_NO_RECURSE |
G_SIGNAL_NO_HOOKS,
                        0,
                        NULL,
                        NULL,
                        g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__INT, /* don't know what
closure to choose */
                        G_TYPE_NONE,
                        2,
                        G_TYPE_INT,
                        G_TYPE_INT);

I get an error on client side while registering the signal:
** (process:8607): WARNING **: No marshaller for signature of signal
'kbd_event'
