I wouldn't say that dbus plugin is completely broken and plain useless for everyone as I've been able to
- fetch current settings
- modify settings
- activate and deactivate actions.

Now, following things doesn't work:
- the list method (a list of option object paths for a plugin)
- plugin metadata
- introspection

Most of the broken features are not essential for this plugin to be
useful.

The list method is the most important but not essential since the object
paths are always constructed with same pattern:
/org/freedesktop/compiz/*plugin*/screen0/*option_name*. You don't need
the list method to find the object path.

Plugin metadata is not that useful unless you are building a compiz
setting editor and don't want to use python and compizconfig.
Introspection is just a nice addition - not critical to the usage of
dbus plugin.

These should, of course, be fixed but the situation is not so bad this
bug implies.
