The qdbus command works quite similar to the dcop tool, i.e. it always 
displays the choices of the next level of details.

For example if you just execute

% qdbus

it will list all service quite like just dcop would have done.

The names are a bit longer, i.e. the are like reverse domain names rather than 
just one worded names in DCOP.

A qdbus command basically looks like this

% qdbus name.of.the.program /path/of/some/object some.function.name parameters

Cheers,
Kevin
