 In current jhbuild, something is passing a dict and a list to a D-Bus
 method that just expects a dict:

 {{{
 ERROR:dbus.connection:Unable to set arguments ({'activity_id':
 'dfe4d407ae3f66844039c71b4541e630c0749084'}, []) according to signature
 u'a{sv}': <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: Fewer items found in D-Bus

 }}}

 This occurs with both invitations in the bottom frame, and public
 activities in the neighbourhood view. Unfortunately the traceback isn't
 very useful because of some dbus-python internals (the stack isn't what
 you expect, because the method call you actually wanted can only be made
 when introspection has finished).
