hi Torsten; this is brilliant, and looks fairly complete already.
since GApplication uses GVariantDict in its command line arguments API, I wonder if we'd need a Glib::VariantDict wrapper as well, or maybe an automatic translation to an hashref. GVariantIter and GVariantBuilder are also the most used types when dealing with GDBus code. ciao, Emmanuele.
