[maemo-developers] DBUS / EDS Confusion

[From: Adam L]

I'm attempting to access EDS services, and running into an obstacle.

When attempting to access, a supposedly synchronous call, to EDS, I'm 
receiving an error message of:

   Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

Here is the offending code, within a static void section linked to a menu 
action:
[CODE]
EBook *mybook = e_book_new_from_uri("/home/adam/books/adambook", &err);
if (mybook == NULL)
{
  hildon_banner_show_information(GTK_WIDGET(app->window), NULL, err->message);
}
[/CODE]



I'm hoping some guru can lend a hand or direction.  I'm running this under 
2.2, scratchbox 1, with a PC target.  I've tried running dbus-monitor (i 
swear i used to be able to use the keyboard from within the xterm app under 
scratchbox), but I really don't know what I'm looking for.  I do see calls to 
the addressbook and said factories.

I hope I've provided enough information to go on....  Thanks for any help!

For the sake of brevity, all tests to make sure things are initialized aren't 
pasted in here.. but, they're in the code, and they come back a success.

Initialization code, tried with and without "TRUE":
[CODE]
appData.context = osso_initialize("myapplication", "1.0", TRUE, NULL);
[/CODE]

osso abook init code (tried with and without)
[CODE]
    if (!osso_abook_init (&argc, &argv, appData.context))
[/CODE]

Here's the output from dbus-monitor, if it helps, when running the 
e_book_new_from_uri().

with the null destination lines, I can't help but wonder if there's something 
broken in my dbus registrations.
