How can i use DBusWatch struct

[geaaru]

Hi Havoc Pennington,
 thank you very very very much for your explanation. 
Now it works, but i have still a doubt.
Now, i manage method correctly with dbus_connection_dispatch and
dbus_watch_handle when there is an event on file descriptor, but
DBusWatch not generate an event for NameAcquired signal. Why?
Because when i call dbus_connection_set_watch_functions that signal is
already on incoming message list? So, i need call
dbus_connection_dispatch after dbus_connection_set_watch_functions for
"initialize" incoming message list for a correct management by
DBusWatch, right?

Still, thanks.

Bye.
