Description Johan Gyllenspetz 2007-10-10 10:55:52 UTC
To be able to listen to all signals using the glib-bindings it would be nice to have the same abilities as the python-bindings dbus.connection.SignalMatch.
Comment 1 Simon McVittie 2011-04-04 04:54:36 UTC
New code should use GDBus, where g_dbus_connection_signal_subscribe provides this.

Legacy dbus-glib code can drop into libdbus and use dbus_connection_add_filter if you're sufficiently masochistic.

We're only supporting dbus-glib for backwards compatibility at this point, so I think this is now WONTFIX.
