OK, this seems reasonable. I think a proper callback works better than a signal.
Since you only really need to notify the caller, a generic signal seems like
overkill and makes the API a bit less foolproof. Perhaps the name should be
_query_info_async() to follow glib naming conventions?

sure, we can discuss it later.
