I changed the code generator in the gitorious repo to the new behaviour
with:

<annotation name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Object" value="KeyEvent"/>

It's tested in one application here and working well. But we need more
testing to include this in the official distribution. You're invited to
test the gitorious branch.
