But which was a reply to your original email, which then makes it the
same 
thread and, therefore, related:
In-Reply-To: <50A8E1F8D9122546A7F67134915EDB7A3B8E92 at xmb-

Please create a new message (as opposed to replying to one) when
creating 
an unrelated thread.

The XML format is that of the D-Bus introspection format. You can find
it 
in the D-Bus specification:
	
http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#introspection-
format

There's also one such XML file in the Qt examples directory and many
others 
in KDE sources, where QtDBus is used extensively.

Finally, there's the qdbuscpp2xml tool that parses a standard QObject-
based class header and outputs the XML format.
