dbus-tqt is older TQt implementation of dbus communication. Its capabilities 
are limited (does not support some dbus data types). AFAIK, it is used only 
in kpowersave and HAL communication in tdebase.

dbus-1-tqt is a newer and more sophisticated TQt implementation of dbus 
communication. It is better integrated with TQt objects - for example dbus 
signals => TQt signals. For new code I certainly suggest to use dbus-1-tqt. 
As an example of the use dbus-1-tqt may well serve tdepowersave. Hovewer, I 
do not know if this example will be sufficient for your needs.
