I am afraid this is a misunderstanding :)

ListNames returns a list of applications or connections on the bus, right?

I'll use an example:
ListNames includes "org.freedesktop.DBus" for the bus itself, correct?

Assuming that "/org/freedesktop/DBus" is introspectable (haven't checked) how 
would an application know about "/org/freedesktop/DBus"?

Is this a default object that always exists in any connected application?

Cheers,
Kevin
