QtDBus is mostly done. I'm porting KDE code to it and it's mostly simple. 
I managed to get kdecore, kdeui and kwallet (the first three KDE 
libraries) in one Saturday.

This commit shows what I mean:
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-commits&m=114615535031709&w=2

There are very few tricky cases, so far.

The largest problem, though, seems to be in kded. I'll see how to fix it 
when I get to it.

I'll let you know once I actually run the code :-)

The obvious drawback is the fact that you cannot pass arbitrary types into 
the bus. So you can't pass KUrl or KUrl::List, for instance. If you have 
a  KUrl::List, you have to qCopy it to a QStringList first.
