Right, I figured that.  :-)

dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus --print-reply=1 /org/freedesktop/DBus 
org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames
   array [
      org.freedesktop.DBus      :1.4      org.bluez      :1.9      :1.11   ]

I only have an org.bluez interface.  No org.bluez.Adapter, even though hci0 is 
up and running great (hcid is running, and hidd is running, my BT mouse works 
great)

*nods* it looks like kdbus is working fine, as the dbus-send call itself is 
returning the exact same info... I just don't have a org.bluez.Adapter 
interface, nor do I have any hci0 object path.

Talking with the guys in FreeNode's #dbus channel too they say that this kind 
of return code is an error:

$ dbus-send --system --dest=org.bluez --print-reply=1 /org/bluez/hci0 
org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect
   <!DOCTYPE node PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Object Introspection 
1.0//EN"
"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/introspect.dtd">
$

(/org/bluez also sends the exact same response) -- they claim that running 
that should give me some methods/interfaces, a child node or an error.

-A.
