           Summary: Konsole DBus introspection broken?
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux
OS:                Linux

I am using KDE 4.1 (amd64) from Debian experimental.

In KDE 3.5.9 I used dcop to interoperate with konsole to open new tabs, renaming them, etc. In KDE 4(.1) I tried my luck using DBus but without success.

For finding supported methods I used qdbusviewer, but for konsole I could not find any methods. For i.e. kmail, and kmix qdbusviewer 
showed me the needed methods and object paths and I was able to interoperate with kmail and kmix using dbus-send.

I already posted this on the Debian-KDE mailing list and they pointed me to supply a bug report here.

They also told me that providing information about objects and methods available is called introspection and that I should try to find out objects and paths using the org.kde.konsole.*.xml files. Either I had some error in my dbus-send syntax or dbus introspection is really broken.

Could you please check this and either confirm that this is really a bug, or could you please be so kind and give me a working example, i.e. how to modify a tab name?
