Yeah, this is on my TODO list; the API is still unstable so it's not a
problem to change this.

I think Qt should probably be fixed to handle this by doing something
like s/-/_/ when generating code. That said, the right solution is, of
course, to fix the services but since D-Bus is so free-form and we don't
have validation tools (yet) you're going to run into things like this.
