Subject: [Bluez-users] bluez and dbus - how to turn on discovery?

I've seen it in this list, but I can't find it now.

dbus is such a hairy pain in the ass, I hope that my opinion of it changes 
once I understand it more.

I would have thought that using a dbus "browser" such as kdbus I would have 
found a method to turn discovery on and off, as well as a bunch of other 
things.  However, browsing the system bus it I see

:1.0/org/bluez as an object (with nothing else)
org.bluez/org/bluez as an object (again with nothing else)

There isn't anything interesting in the session bus (at least not relating to 
Bluez, although I wasn't expecting to find anything.)

There is also an org.freedesktop.DBus interface in both the system and session 
busses with a ton of crap under it, but nothing bluez-related.

I haven't found much in the way of documentation on how to use this, yet we're 
all expected to use it.  Can someone assist in giving perhaps a crash course 
in controlling bluez through dbus?
