I can't really give you an opinion without understanding a lot more
about WINE and WINE components.

There isn't a plain simple example with the raw D-BUS APIs. The focus is
on the GLib/Qt wrapper APIs (which aren't finished).

I started on a tutorial that you may want to read (see web site) but it
doesn't have simple examples yet.

There are lots of complicated examples (the wrapper APIs use the raw C
APIs, and the bus daemon uses the raw C APIs).
