[maemo-developers] Accessing contacts via d-bus

[From: Tatu Lahtela]

Yes I'm doing QT. I initially tried to use the c apis but I had some
troubles compiling/using them. Maybe that gconf example will help, but If
know any app that uses e-book (preferrably a c++ app) that I could look at,
that would be great.
