Description Steve Frécinaux 2006-08-03 18:41:03 UTC 
When a signal taking a G_TYPE_OBJECT as argument is fired, it's propagated on
D-Bus using the object path of that argument. But it does not work if the
argument's declared type is not G_TYPE_OBJECT but a derivative, say MY_TYPE_FOO. 

Expected result: any GObject type should be marshalled as an object path.

A possible solution would be to check the g_type_fundamental() if the current
type has no own TypeInfo, as a fallback. It would work for this particular case
since G_TYPE_OBJECT is a fundamental GLib type.
