The default for `dbus-send` is to use the session bus. The equivalent for `gdbus` is to use the `--session` argument; you're using `--system`, which is meant for the system bus. For instance, this: ``` $ gdbus call --session \ > --dest org.gnome.Mutter.IdleMonitor \ > --object-path /org/gnome/Mutter/IdleMonitor/Core \ > --method org.gnome.Mutter.IdleMonitor.GetIdletime (uint64 29,) ``` will return the appropriate result with no warnings.

to retrieve the user idle time. Indeed I get message

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 method return time=3D1558965539.579835 sender=3D:1.19 -> destination=3D:1.97 serial=3D409 reply_serial=3D2

But if I try to use gdbus command

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 $ gdbus call --system --dest org.gnome.Mutter.IdleMonitor
--object-path /org/gnome/Mutter/IdleMonitor/Core --method
org.gnome.Mutter.IdleMonitor.GetIdletime


The org.gnome.Mutter name is not on th= e system bus, since it's your compositor's instance and it's ru= nning in your session.

The default for `dbus-send`= is to use the session bus. The equivalent for `gdbus` is to use the `--ses= sion` argument; you're using `--system`, which is meant for the system = bus.

For instance, this:

<= div>```
$ gdbus call --session \
> --dest org.gnome.= Mutter.IdleMonitor \
> --object-path /org/gnome/Mutter/IdleMon= itor/Core \
> --method org.gnome.Mutter.IdleMonitor.GetIdletim= e
(uint64 29,)
```

will return the appropri= ate result with no warnings.

Ciao,
