Description GDBusProxy is a base class used for proxies to access a D-Bus interface on a remote object. A GDBusProxy can be constructed for both well-known and unique names. By default, GDBusProxy will cache all properties (and listen to changes) of the remote object, and proxy all signals that gets emitted. This behaviour can be changed by passing suitable GDBusProxyFlags when the proxy is created. If the proxy is for a well-known name, the property cache is flushed when the name owner vanishes and reloaded when a name owner appears. If a GDBusProxy is used for a well-known name, the owner of the name is tracked and can be read from "g-name-owner". Connect to the "notify" signal to get notified of changes. Additionally, only signals and property changes emitted from the current name owner are considered and calls are always sent to the current name owner. This avoids a number of race conditions when the name is lost by one owner and claimed by another. However, if no name owner currently exists, then calls will be sent to the well-known name which may result in the message bus launching an owner (unless G_DBUS_PROXY_FLAGS_DO_NOT_AUTO_START is set). The generic "g-properties-changed" and "g-signal" signals are not very convenient to work with. Therefore, the recommended way of working with proxies is to subclass GDBusProxy, and have more natural properties and signals in your derived class. See Example 19, “GDBusProxy subclass example” for an example.
