Hi,

Those examples are exactly the issue. it's nowhere being made clear
how i can add my own function in there like Hello(bla bla) which is in
there. if i add a function i have to ad it to various other files but
i don't know which ones.. that's not being said in those files or
anything close to it. the documentation of the examples is just..
missing..

So i can't get anywhere with those examples.
I still prefer using that dbus-c++ lib but i'm thinking of just using
the c api since that does have decent documentation and more users
where i can ask for help.
