Description Murray Cumming 2011-04-01 08:31:27 UTC 
g_dbus_connection_register_object() is documented as accepting a NULL vtable
  http://library.gnome.org/devel/gio/unstable/GDBusConnection.html#g-dbus-connection-register-object
but it doesn't say why you would want to do that. I don't see the point of registering an object that has no API.

I think I was thinking "marker interfaces" when I wrote this.

Might be good to mention the 'marker interface' pattern in the docs then.
