Hello Rex,

Maybe you can help me.

$ qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin org.kde.KWin.nextDesktop

... Works. But

$ qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin org.kde.KWin.toggleEffect
Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod
No such method 'toggleEffect' in interface 'org.kde.KWin' at object path
'/KWin' (signature '')

Both appear in the qdbus output and
in /usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces/org.kde.KWin.xml

And idea what am I missing? (Couldn't find anything @google)
