We send one call to tell e to stop keeping control of the configuration files. Decompile, make changes, recompile the configuration files and then send another dbus call to tell e to take over the configuration files again.
It is messy, but it mostly works and is far faster than building a dbus extension for every possible configuration option we might want to change.
