It should be possible to start some kind of small program which says
something like "plug or un-plug a USB device" and have it output a
message when this happens. Would be great for us newbies to get a feel
for the system.

Go take a look at HAL, it does these things.

Well HAL (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://freedesktop.org/Software/hal">http://freedesktop.org/Software/hal</a> for those people who
like me were maybe wondering where it could be found) seems to be only
for 2.6 kernels so that's no option.<br>
<br>
Besides the fact that I think that small example that show off how dbus
works should be found _here_ instead of having to look around (and look
_hard_!) to find them.<br>
<br>
It seems to be pretty hard to to just say: want to use dbus? Well just
take a look at <this code> to get an idea or: just insert
<this code> into your application as a simple starting point.<br>
<br>
For me, I just want to control an application (either remote or not)
using dbus, because I think it is perfect for it, but without any
howtos/tutorials/examples it just takes too much time and effort while
I know that I could make YANP (Yet Another Non-standard Protocol) in no
time. The point is that I don't _want_ to make YANP, I _want_ to use
dbus! :-)<br>
<br>
Please don't take this as criticism, I wouldn't mind writing a couple
of simple examples myself if I would only understand how everything
works. It's just that, while I know dbus isn't used yet by a large
group of people, there _must_ be somebody out there that has written
code that he thinks could help other people understand more how things
work!<br>
