Adding more to this discussion:

With the QtDBus implementation I'm working on, all externally accessible 
functions are slots and they are translated to DBus "method". Since we 
don't want people to write things like today:

	dcop kontact MainApplication-Interface slotQuit

I oppose making all slots prefixed with 'slot' for the future too.
