sendeing an integer

[Mike Gorse]

There are several types of ints: DBUS_TYPE_INT16, DBUS_TYPE_INT32, 
DBUS_TYPE_INT64, and each has a corresponding UINT type.  Also, you'll 
need to make sure that the argument you pass to 
dbus_message_iter_append_basic points to an int of the correct size. 
There are types defined in dbus-types.h (ie, dbus_int32_t) that will 
guarantee that your int will be the correct size.
