No, the original D-Bus bindings were more a draft than an actual 
implementation and very limited in functionality.

When Harald Fernengel at Trolltech imported his Qt4 bindings into the D-Bus 
CVS, one of the KDE developers (Will Stephenson) started to backport them to 
Qt3 but didn't have time to finish them.

I almost completed the backport in late 2005, but ran into some problem due to 
differences in Qt4 and Qt3 and until last week hadn't much time to work 
arounds those (creating my own "variant" implementation).

Frankly I wouldn't have put much effort into this if it wouldn't be required 
for DAPI D-Bus on KDE3, which we agreed upon as a milestone at the OSDL DAM3 
meeting.

I haven't had time to update the API docs, however I hope I can do it this 
weekend, maybe even get the code generator (that created the dapi.h/.cpp from 
the XML introspection file) into releasable condition.

I am not sure anything is actually using the old bindings, since they are not 
compatible with any more recent D-Bus version.

Cheers,
Kevin
