Your patch looks reasonable at first glance; if you want to add this
functionality, please open an 'enhancement'-severity bug on freedesktop.org
to track it (or reuse an existing one if it would fix an existing bug). If
possible we prefer patches in the format produced by git format-patch, so we
can preserve attribution.

Potentially-relevant bugs include:
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23633
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35115

The reason I'm not particularly enthusiastic about merging this is that GDBus
(in GLib >= 2.26) is probably a better choice for new GObject D-Bus code,
particularly in the presence of threads. dbus-glib has various design flaws
and, in practice, mostly isn't thread-safe.

If you're doing this for multi-threading support, please look at the list of
dbus/dbus-glib bugs that mention threads and consider whether you really want
to be doing that, and are able to debug the results...

Thanks,
