that is exactly how it works and we can't use signal. Even directed signal are not working since the method call into the agent has to return the result or an error. What problem do you guys actually have with this? The agent inside bluez-gnome is verifying that the method comes from the daemon it registers its agent with and thus there is not even a security issue here with trying to send arbitrary method calls to the UI.
