          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW

          Priority: medium

        ReportedBy: tester at tester.ca


Since Python has dynamic typing, but dbus doesn't, we need to force the passed
stuff to be the right type. Whenever the type of the variant is specified by
the spec, there should be code to force the variant into the right type (or
produce an exception). I just spent a week discovering that python was putting
an int32 instead of a uint32 and it was confusing the UI.
