Getting a list of object paths for a service ?

When debugging interactions between services I've found it very helpful
to be able to dump information about the bus & services running on it.
It is currently possible to get a list of services attached to a bus
using org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames(). At the other end of the scale,
it is similarly possible to get a list of methods, signals & properties
exported by an object using the Introspect() method. What I can't seem
to find is any way to get list of object paths registered by a service.
Is such information even known by the bus, or does it remain within the
client providing the service ? Looking at the impl of the function
dbus_connection_register_object_path() it doesn't look like details
about exported object paths are provided to the bus. Would it be worth
defining an common interface & object path at which bindings could
automatically provide this info on behalf of services ?
Regards,
Dan.
