Yes, the names are very similar. However, the code is very different.
Older library dbus-tqt (built as libdbus-tqt-1-1c2) is primitive, provides
fewer capabilities, harder to work with it and is usually not used when
developing new code. In truth, I'm surprised that it is used in
KMPlayer - I expected that now is used only in kpowersave.
Newer library dbus-1-tqt (built as libdbus-1-tqt) is more versatile, its
use is natural for TQt applications. If you need to use dbus, it is
certainly a better option to use dbus-1-tqt.
Cheers
