Hey Tanu. That's unfortunate. I guess I wanted my cake and to eat it
too. So I need to remove the signal filtering so I receive the
introspection message. When I get the message, I need to return the XML
string defining the object's interface. I'm assuming that means the
Python code needs to keep the proxy object. Is that correct?
