gnome.org?? Who would have figured that? Sorry but that's far from 
obvious for me ;-)

Ok, that did the trick and it was just a very stupid mistake (wrong 
method/signal name).

But I did notice a couple of things along the way that might be worth 
mentioning:

a) verbose output - is it explained anywhere what you have to do to get 
verbose output? I had to look into the code to find that I had to set 
DBUS_VERBOSE besides the configure option. (NB: would patches adding a 
--verbose option to the tools be accepted?)

b) dbus-monitor - I tried to use the monitor to see if my server/emitter 
was actually sending something and it doesn't seem to do anything 
usefull if this patch: 
http://freedesktop.org/pipermail/dbus/2004-February/000787.html isn't 
applied. The monitor seems to really need a match rule for it to be able 
to work because without it I have never seen it generate any output. Is 
there a reason why this patch has never been applied to CVS?

Cheers and thanks for your help!
