You might be able to get around this issue by using the GLib.Object's connect method to directly specify the signal.

Hi, According to this https://git.gnome.org/browse/vala/tree/vapi/gio-2.0.vapi#n516 it seems that the signal isn't bound in vala. Maybe vala doesn't accept yet that a property and a method (signal) have the same name. As Robert Schroll says, connect to the notify signal of the property.
