Sometimes the DBus API requires to connect to signals of DBus objects that don't exist yet:
https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/#common-conventions

That is not possible to do with proxy objects and it is necessary to use a layer with a lower level of abstraction:

from dasbus.client.handler import GLibClient

GLibClient.subscribe_signal(
    bus.connection,
    service_name,
    object_path,
    interface_name,
    signal_name,
    callback,
)

Let's figure out how to make these layers easier to use and discover.
