When the same D-Bus property is registered on an interface with two separate paths, only the last property is preserved. Methods and signals registered on the same interface on different paths are preserved. The attached script demonstrates the property issue. It can be run as: emacs -Q --load dbus-properties-test.el --eval "(main)" The script registers a property on "/node0" then runs an asynchronous dbus-send command to verify that the property is readable. It then registers the same property on "/node1". Subsequently, it attempts to read the property from both "/node0" and "/node1". The property is successfully returned from the "/node1" property get request. Nothing (boolean false) in returned from the property get for "/node0". Finally, it opens two windows, one displaying buffer "*node0*" containing the command for the two get requests for "/node0". The first is successful, the second is not. The other window displays buffer "*node1* which shows the successful get property on "/node1". In short, the second registered property survives, the first does not.
