I partially use the docs, as they are very partial.

You can find more about DBUS in general here:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...us/DBus_Basics

regarding finding the dbus to use, here is what I do:
First, I use "dbus-monitor --session" or "dbus-monitor --system", depends on what channel you need (I believe SMS is session).
I pipeline it to a file (so it will be more convenient) and reproduce the state I'd like to catch it's dbus channel (for incoming SMS, for example, I send myself an SMS from Skype or gmail).
Then the pipelined file contains ALL dbus method and signal calls.
Method call are for invokation (do something), and signals are to listen to something.
The output contains all the necessary information about the dbus (name, path, interface and type).

Hopes this helps.
