 Thanks, that did it!

 BTW, should I only g_object_unref the GDBusConnection or should it be closed or anything? That's something I haven't
understood with DBus. It's clear that connections to the system and session bus are shared and should not be closed but
I'm not sure with this kind of connections.

 I will read that anyway. Who knows what it's good for. :)
