This are the current Qt3 bindings. KNetworkManager and some other programs use 
just one class (for Qt3 event loop integration) of a binding set which has 
been removed from D-Bus CVS years ago and is thus unmaintained.

However distributions usually still ship the old bindings since old programs 
depend on it. For example on Debian the development package is called 
libdbus-qt-1-dev
