Hi Pavel Strashkin

    I downloaded the  dbus-1.5.0.tar.gz from
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/
    and ./configure --enable-verbose-mode and make & make install.
    when execute the commad metioned in your last mail,
    I cannot find debug info output.

    Also I tried to find the debug version of dbus,and dpkg the package.
    http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/dbus-1-dbg
    when use dbus-send,it tells me
    dbus-send: cannot execute binary file

    Would you please tell me what is the version of dbus & dbus debug.
    More,Could you kindly tell me the command works in your host and client
============
    dbus-send --address=... --print-reply
    --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /org/freedesktop/DBus
   org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames
============

    Thanks very much indeed
