[bt-devel] dbus interface

[Martin Gruner]

Hi Teus,

sorry, I am a dbus newbie. However, I just tried qdbusviewer, and it let me 
call syncAllVerseBasedModules, and it worked. Does it not for you? Maybe it 
can tell you the correct path to call.

Is there anything we need to change in the implementation? Let us know what it 
would be.

Martin
