Visualize D-Bus activity

About Bustle
Bustle draws sequence diagrams of D-Bus activity.
It shows signal emissions, method calls and their
corresponding returns, with time stamps for each individual
event and the duration of each method call. This can help
you check for unwanted D-Bus traffic, and pinpoint why your
D-Bus-based application is not performing as well as you
like. It also provides statistics like signal frequencies
and average method call times.
