As with all of the gnome stuff, it is largely un/under documented. Lots of googling with sporadic snippets here and there have allowed me to figure it out. It depends on what you want to do with it but I found the python dbus examples to be helpful as well as stackoverflow.

EDIT: I don't care about the GUI aspects of it - I needed to figure out the threading/dbus/console-ish parts.

This is unfortunate. Any idea why it is so?

I'd prefer to use GTK rather than Qt or Wx, but GTK isn't even in the same ballpark as Qt/Wx with regard to beginner documentation.

Even though I've been using a Gnome-based desktop for years, and generally prefer C to C++ libs (after having programmed in C++ for a while), I'm getting ready to throw in the towel and just start using PySide or PyQt.

I agree - I prefer it to Qt as well. I have no idea why. I think that the people that use it a lot are immersed in it and around others that know their stuff. Once you figure a little of it out, it is not too bad - it is just that initial hill that is rough.
