You can find a description of the bluez D-Bus API in the 
hcid/dbus-api.txt file that comes along with bluez-utils (you'll have to 
use version 3.3 since it wasn't included before that).

About D-Bus usage, well, by googling you should be able to find several 
places with some documentation, though I have to admit that some of the 
higher level bindings lack good documentation. E.g. the lowlevel API 
description can be found here:
http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/api/html/group__DBus.html

If you want to specifically use the bluez D-Bus API you could e.g. take 
a look at the source code of the new bluez-gnome package (which uses the 
GLib bindings of D-Bus) or the hcid/dbus-test script which is part of 
the bluez-utils package (it uses the python bindings and contains 
examples of pretty much every feature of the bluez D-Bus API).

Set the discoverable timeout:
dbus-send --system --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0 \
	org.bluez.Adapter.SetDiscoverableTimeout uint32:100

Get the discoverable timeout:
dbus-send --system --dest=org.bluez --print-reply /org/bluez/hci0 \
	org.bluez.Adapter.GetDiscoverableTimeout

No problem :)
