Hello.

I've read in the list archives that QtDBus is not wrapped because there
would be severe limitations in the bindings, and a more pythonic version
of the bindings exists (dbus-python).

However, I'm having trouble with exporting an interface using those
bindings. I've started with the example-service.py file that comes with
dbus-python, and I've changed it to be a Qt mini-app with the following
diff (full file attached):

The application starts, with this warning:

qdbus lists the service, but trying to lists its objects hangs, and
sending a message does not work either:

% qdbus | grep example
 com.example.SampleService

% qdbus com.example.SampleService
/
Cannot introspect object / at com.example.SampleService:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply (Did not receive a reply. Possible causes
include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security
policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection
was broken.)

% qdbus com.example.SampleService /SomeObject 
com.example.SampleInterface.HelloWorld hello
Interface 'com.example.SampleInterface' not available in object /SomeObject at 
com.example.SampleService:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply (...)

Any ideas?
