It's not; I think its caused by poor documentation of the
DBUS_TYPE_G_OBJECT_ARRAY marshalling type.  From a quick look at the
dbus-glib and dbus code, that looks like it only works from a *server*
program, because it uses dbus_connection_get_object_path_data() to find
objects registered with that path, but that dbus library function only
operates on objects that have been registered for export.  So I don't
think it's what you want.

Instead, use dbus_g_type_get_collection ("GPtrArray",
DBUS_TYPE_G_OBJECT_PATH) instead, and you'll get a GPtrArray of "char *"
which you can then create your own DBusGProxys from.
