Please no top-posting here, those files are not supposed to be
manually edited, use D-Bus API otherwise you may cause
inconsistencies.

You don't have to do that in main.conf, except for class, those values
are only used when there is nothing already configured, so to change
this you really should be using D-Bus. You can find under
tests/test-adapter how to set this permanently in the configuration of
the adapter.

Btw, for the class it actually gets updated automatically when you
register the services.
