@Lorn

Can you add some details regarding what image channel you actually used
and device for testing?  rc-proposed is probably the best base for you
to use.

The "GetAll" behavior you're describing is similar to what I was seeing
with the AccessPoint objects.  The code would see a "PropertiesChanged"
signal for an access point, and directly issue a blocking "GetAll" call.
This should only be done at initial object creation.  Once initialized,
the properties can be monitored directly via "PropertiesChanged" signals
and the included payload.  I imagine this is probably what you've done
with your patch.

I'll review your updates, and confer with some others to see if we defer
your additional changes to OTA9, or try to get them in as part of a
proposed hot-fix.

Thanks again for your help!

Bug description:
  Krillin, rc-proposed, r83

  
  DESCRIPTION:
  I've been trying to track down the cause of the occasional UI freezes on my Krillin device, and I noticed that whenever the UI freezes for 2-4 seconds, I get a burst of "PropertiesChanged" signals in dbus-monitor

  Here's a log of what's shown in dbus-monitor:
  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11992322/

  I'd guess the problem is in the code that actually catches the signals
  and acts accordingly.

  HOW TO REPRODUCE: 
  1) Move to a place where many wifi hotspots are available
  2) Connect the device via USB and run "phablet-shell" and then "dbus-monitor"
  3) Use the device while keeping an eye on dbus-monitor output
