Hi Mark. "Monitoring" in D-Bus usually means running dbus-monitor and you do 
that for debugging purposes. I don't think that's what you mean.

Do you mean listening to signals? If you mean that, there's no "method" 
(a.k.a. a slot), only "signal".

Eavesdrop implies debugging. QtDBus will not do this, no matter how much you 
try. Forget it.
