this is one of the (many) (huge) issues with current e_dbus, and a reason why it must be completely scrapped in the future. in order to achieve the functionality you are looking for, you basically have two options: 1) recursive main loops 2) block in this thread, fork and pipe to get the result
either way sucks and is not recommended.
