Eek. RTT is probably too high for that. Even setting a property might be racy, I'm not sure. A PropertyChanged signal in GDBus is run in a new thread, and I'm not sure how it works when we're using the clunky dbus-glib.

At the moment I'm erring for ::SleepingKind and ::ResumingKind as we call things kinds internally (rather than type, which upsets glib sometimes).
