I'm working on it. Some stubs are already done, but I'm quite unsure
whether I placed them in the right classes.

I have session handling (org.kde.konsole.Konsole) with methods like
"sessionCount", "currentSession" in the ViewManager class, and session
based handling ("org.kde.konsole.Session") in Session.

Currently looking that way:

      <arg type="s" direction="out"/>

    </method>

    <method name="newSession">

      <arg name="sessionId" type="s" direction="in"/>
    </method>
    <method name="nextSession">

      <arg type="b" direction="out"/>
    </method>
    <method name="setFullScreen">
      <arg name="on" type="b" direction="in"/>
    </method>

It's fairly based on the existing IDLs however not an exact port. I'd be
glad if you could tell me if I found out the right classes in the code
to access the necessary properties for both interfaces.

At runtime the session bus looks like this:

org.kde.konsole
/Konsole
  + sessionCount()
  + ...
/Sessions
/Sessions/1
  + feedSession()
  + ...

If someone is missing functionality through DBus I'm even happy to point
 me to it.
