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. "... connection.notify["closed"].connect(on_dbus_connection_closed) ..." go to : https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/Tutorial#line-1112 Le jeu. 10 déc. 2015 à 21:05, Robert Schroll <rschr...@gmail.com> a écrit : > Does the 'closed' property change at the same time the 'closed' signal > fires?
