Then the exposed method in your GObject can be like:
method_name (YourObject, args, DBusGMethodInvocation *context)
And from the context you get
dbus_g_method_get_sender (context); /* The unique name */
Don't forget to return something with dbus_g_method_return at the end.
Hope this is what you want.
Cheers,
Ali.
