No, the signals have no destination, they are already for everyone. Also
I'm not waiting for an object and the signal name is given in the event.
See DBusSignal.

I did this:
$ dbus-monitor --system >> signals.txt

And immediately shutdown my computer. I got 1.1 MB of shit... oh wow. But
there is also the PrepareForShutdown signal, but I cannot see that in
Gambas.
"signal time=1727305608.503257 sender=:1.11 -> destination=(null
destination) serial=109 path=/org/freedesktop/login1;
interface=org.freedesktop.login1.Manager; member=PrepareForShutdown"

Benoit, any reason why this is missing? Is something related to DBus closed
already..?
Is there another Qt/GTK independent way to detect shutdown?
