Try this:
http://www.avahi.org/browser/tags/release-0.5.2/avahi-utils/avahi-browse.in

This is a fairly complete example, however we have since added the 
'flags' paramater to a couple calls, so double check the D-Bus API docs 
at http://avahi.org/wiki/ProgrammingDocs for where to put any 'flags' 
paramaters

 From memory ServiceBrowserNew & ResolveService require flags.
