Yes; if something is connected to a source without an update interval, and the DataEngine changes the data for that source, then the visualization is notified of this. In other words, with no update interval defined, the DataEngine operates essentially in push mode. > Or for such dbus application, is the QtDBus and > C++ the only choice? (Sorry but I don't know anything of Python..). That's one possibility. Another is a DataEngine. The nice thing about using a DataEngine is that you get a very clean, re-usable split between data and visualization. This means that in future if someone once again wishes to redo the UI or do a different UI, the logic code does not need to change. Also keep in mind that a DataEngine may provide services and that you can also load Services directly with a DataEngine if needed. Services allow both read and write access, so if your Plasmoid needs to interact with the DBus service (e.g. make DBus calls itself), then this may be a good way to go about it. -- Aaron J.
