I should have noticed this, I thought it would be something like this.

I am no expert but I think that if you look at the dbus code you can see 
that the dbus
plugin communicates with the plugin that is being activated through its 
options like
this (from dbusHandleActivateMessage).

        (*option->value.action.initiate) (d,
                          &option->value.action,
                          0,
                          argument, nArgument);

There is some code in rotate.c which gets the option from the cube to 
detect if it is
in or not.

    p = findActivePlugin ("cube");
    if (p && p->vTable->getScreenOptions)
    {
    CompOption *options, *option;
    int       nOptions;

    options = (*p->vTable->getScreenOptions) (s, &nOptions);
    option = compFindOption (options, nOptions, "in", 0);
    if (option)
        rs->invert = option->value.b ? -1 : 1;
    }

This could be adapted to check for the put plugin and use that, if not 
just revert to the
internal move functions.

I am not expecting David to accept all of the patches that I have but 
they are there if anyone
wants to play around with them.
