I believe we should remove this variable now.

Dito.

Otherwise, it looks good to me (but I haven't tested comprehensively).

For a while, I have on my wishlist to declare a D-Bus event as a
defstruct, like this:

(cl-defstruct (dbus-event (:type list) :named)
  "A D-Bus event, coming from or sent to other applications."
  bus-name message-type serial-number
  service-name path-name interface-name member-name handler)

But I don't know whether it is worth the effort.
