DBus Glib Send Signal - No signals being emitted

I am attempting to send a signal out over the session message bus. I am able to call methods fine using d-feet dbus debugger with no problem. Unfortunately d-feet does not allow you to connect to signals to debug those. In replacement I am using dbus-monitor "type='signal'" to see if anything is sent. So far this works except for anything that I send.

My assumption is that when one calls dbus_g_connection_register_g_object (connection, path, object); it registers all methods,properties, and signals located within your introspection xml file. This would appear to hold true because before I added them dbus would complain about the signals not existing.

I attempt to dispatch a signal using g_signal_emit_by_name(self,"application_identifier_changed","some new crazy aid",NULL); . 开发者_高级运维This functions within the app itself, I can connect to the signal and it does trigger. However nothing appears within dbus monitor. I must be missing something simple.

Here are the files involved:

main.c

int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
guint   result;
GError* error = NULL;
GObject * obj = NULL;

gtk_init(&argc,&argv);

gchar* bus_name = g_strdup_printf("org.maskwa.PowerviewApplicationPresence_%d",getpid());

dbus = dbus_g_bus_get(DBUS_BUS_SESSION,&error);
if (NULL != error) {
    g_error("error establishing dbus connection %s",error->message);
    g_error_free(error);
    return 1;
}
    //dbus_connection_setup_with_g_main(dbus_g_connection_get_connection(dbus),NULL);

proxy = dbus_g_proxy_new_for_name(dbus,
    DBUS_SERVICE_DBUS, DBUS_PATH_DBUS, DBUS_INTERFACE_DBUS);

org_freedesktop_DBus_request_name(proxy,
            bus_name, 
            DBUS_NAME_FLAG_DO_NOT_QUEUE, &result, &error);

obj = g_object_new (POWERVIEW_TYPE_APPLICATION_PRESENCE, NULL);
dbus_g_connection_register_g_object (dbus, "/org/maskwa/powerview_application_presence", obj);

gtk_main();

if (NULL != bus_name) g_free(bus_name);
return 0;
}

I would appreciate any help.

I found the source of the issue. In powerview-application-presence.gob, signal last NONE (POINTER) had to be signal last NONE (STRING).
