This is possible via QMetaType and the custom D-BUS type, I use this trick to
transfer more complicated stuff in my accessibility bridge.
Porting applications from dcop to D-BUS should be easy, you basically throw
out stuff since a separate IDL compiler is no longer required and you can
connect any slot/signal to D-BUS.
I can also see no show-stoppers in providing a dcop command line client that
talks D-BUS.
