Yep, a very quick starting example using the glib loop:

gboolean connect_ap(gpointer data) {
    osso_rpc_t retval;
    osso_context_t *osso_context = (osso_context_t *) data;

    printf("_connecting\n");
    osso_rpc_run_system(
            osso_context,
            ICD_SERVICE, ICD_OBJECT, ICD_IFACE,
            "connect", &retval,
            DBUS_TYPE_STRING, "rfid",
            DBUS_TYPE_UINT32, 0,
            DBUS_TYPE_UINT32, 0
    );
    printf("result: %d\n", retval.type);
    return FALSE;
}

int main(int argc, char * argv[]) {
    GMainLoop *loop;
    osso_context_t *osso_context;

    osso_context = osso_initialize(
        "test", "0.0.1", TRUE, NULL
    );

    g_type_init ();

    loop = g_main_loop_new (NULL, FALSE);

    g_timeout_add(0, &connect_ap, osso_context);

    g_main_loop_run(loop);

    return 0;
}
