The code tells me we are generating the signal on all private connection and on api bus if we have client connected. "if we have client connected" statement is not clear to me. Have we change the behavior or is this a bug?

You have to invoke "Subscribe()" first on the manager bus, to get
something. We only send out the messages as long as at least one living
client has issued this call.

(Note that on normal desktops logind issues the call, so you might get
away with not invoking it, but this will break in early boot and on
systems without logind)
