/* This example creates a D-Bus server with the following functionality:
   It registers the "com.example.dbustest" name, creates a "/hello" object path,
   which has an "com.example.dbustest" interface.

   The interface has a "Hello" method (which takes no arguments and returns a string),
   and a "HelloHappened" signal (with a string argument) which is sent every time
   someone calls the "Hello" method.
