Dbus is a message bus full of flaws. Objects need to be announced, in the protocol is a switch between text and binary, you can get the object definitions as XML and the API, which forces you to use a 160 character terminal, is wrapping you around glib. Every dbus user should be forced to read this: [0] Maybe you only mistakenly took the alternative object notation as a path as some kind of filesystem.
