Yes, and why do some of the things have slashes and others don't? For example:

         dbus-send --dest=’org.freedesktop.ExampleName            \
                   /org/freedesktop/sample/object/name              \
                   org.freedesktop.ExampleInterface.ExampleMethod   \
                   int32:47 string:’hello world’ double:65.32

I don't personally think the above is an example of a user friendly scripting 
call compared with the dcop command line utility. Is it possible to come up 
with a simpler equivalent to dbus-send for normal humans?
