Hello Andreas,

I created the version with Ecore integration in the gitorious branch.
So if you've problems report them here. I would like to get more
feedback about it. If it works for several persons I'll integrate it
into the main branch on fd.org.

It's not much work to change the Echo example to Ecore main loop.

It works the same way as the glib dispatcher.

But take caution with the threads in the example. Also the Ecore
binding is not thread safe! But as long as you call a Dbus-C++ function
from within a Ecore loop callback there will be no problems.

Andreas
