It should really default to doing methods, I guess the reason it works
is because I'm using --print-reply and this makes it it silently change
to methods (or so walters in the cube next to me say).

Btw, I don't know why dbus-send can even send signals, it doesn't really
make any sense to me at all. Need to look into this.
