QDate is a (iii) structure. Anywhere where a type signature is expected, 
you can add (iii). But you also need to tell us that it is a QDate.

If we're talking about a property:
	<property name="propname" type="(iii)" access="readwrite">
	  <annotation name="com.trolltech.QtDBus.QtTypeName" value="QDate"/>
	</property>

If it's a method argument, the annotation name must be something like:
	com.trolltech.QtDBus.QtTypeName.In0
	com.trolltech.QtDBus.QtTypeName.Out0
	com.trolltech.QtDBus.QtTypeName.Out1
	etc.
