Yes, quite a bit, though mostly under-the-hood stuff. Registration of
objects is working and they can be messaged from other D-Bus peers. The
problem is that at the moment, you kinda would have to hand-craft the
information required by DBusKit to map Obj-C methods to D-Bus methods. I
have bits of code here and there that automates this, but I didn't get
to around to bringing it into a usable state.

Also WIP are D-Bus property support and outgoing notifications/signals.
IIrc, you need the latter for DBus menus. I hope that I'd be able to
work more on that soon.

Cheers,

Niels
