Marshalling of the Structure and array of Structures from QT into GLib API (repeated because of mailer problems)

Hello,
By sending a structure over the D-Bus using QT API as the last step I
pack my structure s into QVariant and use the QVariant as an argument of
me method.
QVariant v;
v.setValue( s );
myIf->asyncCall( "myMethod", v );
On GLib API, I receive the QValueArray *
Now I'd like to send QList<s>.
From the Qt Side the procedure is the same, pack the list into QVariant
and send.
QVariant v;
QList<s> l;
v.setValue( l );
myIf->asyncCall( "myMethod", v );
BUT What I receive on the GLib API is not the GValueArray * but the
GPtrArray * is it correct?
( the attempt to unpack the GValueArray fails - the n_values is a
accidental number and the application crashes by
g_value_array_get_nth(...),
whereas the unpacking of GPtrArray * seems to work correctly )
It is somehow misleading. I thought, that packing of an item into
QVariant, will always result in a GValueArray * on GLib API.
Additionally for the method generated from the XML definition
<method name="myMethod">
<arg type="a(myStructureSignature)">
</method>
the compiler accepts both types of argument i.e. GValueArray * but the
GPtrArray * could somebody explain why?
Thanks,
Bogdan
