Yes, that's the end-goal. We'd replace our use of libdbus-1 with our own 
marshaller and socket handling code, then we'd adapt our marshaller to speak 
GVariant instead of DBus-1, then finally we'd add code to open the kdbus 
sockets if they exist.

Andreas was the one who wanted to get started. His marshalling code (the one 
you linked to) would be imported into QtDBus as the first step I lined up 
above.
