What about ability to specify a way of service/application activation by dbus?

This is a d-feet bug (or feature request) - it doesn't include
org.freedesktop.DBus in the list, apparently deliberately.

o.f.DBus is a bit of an odd special case (it's provided by the
dbus-daemon itself and various normal methods like
GetConnectionUnixProcessID don't work on it), so I can understand why
d-feet doesn't support it.

The dbus-daemon's methods are all at "/org/freedesktop/DBus" - use that
instead of "/". It appears the introspection information used by
qdbusviewer is misleading (which is a dbus-daemon bug, I think).
