I would ask people not to do this.  I already understand there is huge
interest and am working with the upstream developer to find out the
status and where he thinks things are with the bindings.  They are not
upstream yet and they are in heavy flux.  I'm not sure if KDE even uses
them yet.  Spamming the bug just fills my inbox and is of no help.
Thanks.

As I was told KDE 3.5 does not use these bindings and KDE will not be
making another major release until 4.0 (correct me if I am wrong) so the
chances of anything getting rebased to the new bindings is very slim.  I
stand by my thoughts that all the functionality that KDE uses (which is
slim, mostly just talking to HAL) should just be rolled into IOSlave or
whatever uses it and a point release made.  This was actually the
suggestion that the Qt4 binding maintainer made awhile ago.

OK,  when we had dbus-qt  if i plugged in a usb drive  i was prompted to mount 
the drive or ignore it  etc. this does not work now  that the support has 
been removed.  so what was there while not perfect  and not being maintained 
worked. but now  there is nothing.  i plug something it  i need to go mount 
it by hand. when i saw that there was some newer bindings  i saw it as an 
opportunity to get things back in.  

I believe the next major release of kde will be 4.0 I guess its time to brush 
up on C++
