It looks like there's some version mismatch between Democracy and Dbus-python.

When I start democracy player (Democracy-0.9.5.1-8.fc7) I get:

/usr/bin/democracyplayer:81: DeprecationWarning: The dbus_bindings module is
deprecated and will go away soon.

dbus-python 0.80 provides only a partial emulation of the old
dbus_bindings, which was never meant to be public API.

Most uses of dbus_bindings are applications catching the exception
dbus.dbus_bindings.DBusException. You should use dbus.DBusException
instead (this is compatible with all dbus-python versions since 0.40.2).

If you need additional public API, please contact the maintainers via
<dbus@lists.freedesktop.org>.

TypeError: request_name() takes no keyword arguments

I changed onetiem.py to make flags=flags just be flags, but then it runs in to
another error which was more difficult to trace.

dbus-python is dbus-python-0.80.2-3.fc7.
