Hello Ted,

yes, BusDispatcher::add_timeout() is for another reason. To be honest I
never needed such an feature. Are you sure the C backend of DBus
provides such a feature? Could you name a function?

I would solve this by writing an interface to a DBus service that
provides you with configurable callbacks. :-)
