Completion for qdbus

[Thomas Mitterfellner <thomas.mitterfellner@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!

I wrote a completion function for qdbus (a command line tool for
communicating with dbus-enabled programs, like kmix, krusader,
pulseaudio…) which I want to share in the hope that it will be useful.

Comments, suggestions, testing, corrections etc. are welcome!

Best regards,

Thomas
