I know the feeling. We are faced with the same problem: QtDBus and QtGui 
are unrelated libraries (one doesn't depend on the other).

But things like accessibility, desktop integration, etc., would greatly 
benefit from D-Bus calls. However, we aren't linking to QtDBus, so we 
can't provide them.

The solution I have in mind is to use plugins...
