If you are looking for some help regarding gdbus, it's probably best
to inquire on some gdbus/glib mailing list.

With the "busctl" tool you can read the propery with a command like
the following:

busctl get-property org.freedesktop.login1 /org/freedesktop/login1/session/_31 org.freedesktop.login1.Session IdleSinceHint

I am sure the gdbus folks will be able to give you the right hints how
to do the same with native gdbus API calls quickly if you ask them for
the equivalent of the above line.
