Excellent. Looks pretty clear to me. I'll just have to go through some basic 
guile
docs on using external libraries.
Could you point me to appropriate documentation? I'm kinda lost with differences
between module, library and R6RS-library.

In ofono-modem it's simply used as (use-module (glib dbus)) - does it mean that 
I
have to copy it to some standard location?
What's there procedure to "install" library so it becomes visible to 
guile-gnome-2?
Is there way to make your library available to particular user instead of 
system-wide
availability?

I've tried to set GUILE_LOAD_PATH to ~/source/ossaulib but no luck so far.

https://code.launchpad.net/~andywingo/guile-gnome/dbus - this one.

Could you share some links? I've found nothing so far unfortunately.
Also, if dbus bindings already available via guile-gnome - why develop another 
library?

Yepp, I've just hoped someone already made it :)
Can't really imagine how to use dbus without such a convenience tool.

cheers,
