Hello,

I have used "-developer-build", see [1]. Is it enough, or must I somehow pass 
-O0 explicitly? 

After that I did a test:

Test scenario: KMix is running with the openSUSE build of Qt, qdbus is running 
with my build.

Result: It works as expected: false yields false, true yields true

So I think you are right. It looks like it is on marshalling (client side). 
Probably the build for openSUSE is using more esoteric optimization flags.

Greetings,
      Christian
