Description David Zeuthen (not reading bugmail) 2010-06-09 14:36:04 UTC 
Currently

$ gio/tests/gdbus-example-watch-proxy -n org.freedesktop.PackageKit -o /org/freedesktop/PackageKit -i org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Query
--- Cannot create proxy object for
    bus:          Session Bus
    name:         org.freedesktop.PackageKit
    object path:  /org/freedesktop/PackageKit
    interface:    org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Query

fails because the object has no properties.

Note, you probably also need to also pass -a/--auto-start in this example. Doesn't change anything, I still get

$ ./gio/tests/gdbus-example-watch-proxy -n org.freedesktop.PackageKit -o /org/freedesktop/PackageKit -i org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Query -a
--- Cannot create proxy object for
    bus:          Session Bus
    name:         org.freedesktop.PackageKit
    object path:  /org/freedesktop/PackageKit
    interface:    org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Query

while

$ ./gio/tests/gdbus-example-watch-proxy -n org.freedesktop.PackageKit -o /org/freedesktop/PackageKit -i org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Query -a -p
+++ Acquired proxy object for remote object owned by :1.176
    bus:          Session Bus
    name:         org.freedesktop.PackageKit
    object path:  /org/freedesktop/PackageKit
    interface:    org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Query
    properties:

works just fine
