+ * dbus/dbus-glib-lowlevel.h, glib/dbus-gobject.c: Patch from Rob
+ Taylor to add two methods, dbus_g_method_return_get_reply and
+ dbus_g_method_return_send_reply, to allow you to get the reply
+ message from a DBusGMethodInvocation, append arbitrary stuff to it,
+ and send it. The GLib bindings can't marshal a return value of
+ something like a(s) if the array is empty - ultimately they should be
+ made to heed the signature of the out arguments as the Python bindings
+ now can, but this is a workable interim solution which might have
+ other applications.
