Description arne anka 2009-05-18 15:21:15 UTC
Version:           unknown (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.28

creating a dbus-command shortcut seems incomprehensible:

- no explanation, what remote application makes different from remote object and where to obtain that info
- "launch dbus-browser" fails, because qdbusviewer is not installed -- and doing so pulls in a bunch of other dependencies (libqt4-dev{a} libqt4-opengl-dev{a} libqt4-scripttools{a} qt4-designer{a} qt4-dev-tools qt4-doc{a} 
  qt4-qmake{a}, "Need to get 68,3MB of archives. After unpacking 106MB will be used.") and after that nothing really changes, since the qdbusviewer has not much more to offer, namely the application vs object question is not answered

still basically unusable.
i try to setup a very simple example of using the play/pause button of my keyboard, but am immediately presenetd with still the same hardly usable interface.
- hitting "launch dbus-browser" presents me with an even less useful interface
- typing "amarok" in the search field just out of desperation presents me with three entries in the left section (which is, probably not to confuse me, doesn't have any lable at all):
org.kde.amarok
org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.amarok
org.mpris.amarok

- browsing the right section, which is at least labelled "Methods" unfolds an unsightly number of entries, whose unfold to even more entries
- trying the most sensible looking "Method: PlayPause" inevitable returns an error (for each of the three left-side entries!)
"Unable to find method PlayPause on path /Player in interface org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer"

i really fail to grasp the whole idea behind this configuration. it has no usefull self-explaining interface, it sends the user into maze of incomprehensible options, and that doesn't even work.
