mmmm. Your progs run fine here when I changed it back to 
"org.gambas.dbsend", but there is something strange (I think) about the 
event parameters. qdbusviewer introspection shows the following:

<signal name="MyEvent"> <arg name="arg1" type="s" direction="in"/> </signal>

I am just wondering why the param direction is "in"? Or perhaps ...
