Re: [Vala] How to connect to signal if there's a property with the same name?

[Robert Schroll <rschroll gmail com>]

Does the 'closed' property change at the same time the 'closed' signal 
fires?  If so, you may be able to connect to the notification on the 
property:

        connection.notify["closed"].connect(on_dbus_connection_closed)

Note that you'll probably want to check whether 'closed' is true in 
your handler before doing anything.
