There is now a dbus-cpp module, with C++ bindings for D-BUS. It builds and
distchecks, but I don't think it actually works yet. This does not use
glibmm or gtkmm or Qt. It's meant to be pure C++.

There are freedesktop.org cvs instructions here:

D-BUS is a message bus system - a simple way for applications to talk to one
another:

I did this a few weeks ago, so I don't remember the actual problems, but I
do remember that I wrote some notes in the example scripts. I think I just
didn't set up a dbus bus properly, and I think I failed to understand some
basic concepts. I'll find time for it eventually, but if you are interested
you should try to get it working yourself instead of waiting indefinitely
for me.
