DBUS glibc simple code problem

[Sadrul Habib Chowdhury]

This is a pretty old post, and the OP has probably resolved the issue by
now. I am going to respond anyway! I should also mention that I don't
know much about DBUS foo.

I looked at the tutorial at
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-dbus.html?ca=dgr-lnxw95D-BUS,
and following the tutorial, the attached code works for me.

When I run your code, I get a  runtime warning ("No marshaller for
signature of signal 'ReceivedImMsg'"). I tried adding a marshaller with
dbus_g_object_register_marshaller, but that didn't work either. I don't
really know whether that's the correct way of doing it or not. If you
do find a proper fix, perhaps you could let us know!

Ticket #3243 (http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/3243) probably has
something to do with this.

I got the above mentioned error message. I think the signal handler is
not being added correctly because there's no marshaller for the signal
(and not because the signature of the signal you create in
 _add_signal may be incorrect).
