Description

I'm working on a GNOME shell extension to control Packet from the Quick Settings menu in this repo. Currently this just provides a button to open the Packet app. But to properly fix #53, the quick toggle button should toggle the device's visibility through Packet.

To achieve this I need some kind of API to Packet for enabling/disabling visibility. Ideally I would also like to have some API to fetch what the current device name is, as configured in the preferences, so I can show it in the subtitle.

IMO the best way to achieve this is for Packet to export a DBus object and interface:

• a signal for the current visibility - when the user changes it in the app, I want to reflect that in the QS tile
• a method for enabling/disabling visibility
• a signal for the current device name

From there, using DBus from Gnome JS is relatively easy.
