           Summary: Shortcuts Gestures: D-Bus action example does not work.
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 4.1
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: steffenjost at web.de


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

It is very confusing that the example in  "Examples" -> "Perform D-Bus
Call"-Action does not work at all!

(Of course it is disabled, being an example, but I mean that the "TRY"-Button
in the "D-Bus Call Settings"-Tab does not do anything, since the settings are
simply wrong. Note that the "TRY"-Button works if proper values are entered.)

_This_is_problematic_, since D-Bus Actions in "System Settings" -> "Advanced"
-> "Shortcuts" have a different naming convention than the values shown by the
D-Bus Browser (helpfully offered through a button in the "D-Bus Call
Settings"-Tab).

So it took me a while to find out that, e.g.

Remote Application = org.kde.plasma
Remote Object      = /App
Called Function    = local.PlasmaApp.toggleDasboard

where the correct values required to show the Dashboard (which I bound to a
mouse gesture), since the D-Bus Browser does not have "Application" or "Object"
written somewhere. Therefore a working example would be useful (and is easy to
achieve anyway). Thanks!
