Comment(by dcbw):

 The D-Bus API for NM has changed quite a bit; but it's easier to
 understand.  Take a look at

 http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/NetworkManager/trunk/introspection/

 you get a nice overview of the D-Bus API.  The process for finding the
 current IP address is basically:

 1) Use the D-Bus properties interface to get the "State" property of
 org.freedesktop.NetworkManager
 2) If that state is 3 (NM_STATE_CONNECTED) then:
 3) Call GetActiveConnections() on org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.  This
 returns an array of structs as documented in the introspection XML.
 4) For each active connection returned, look through the array of devices
 that belong to that connection
 5) For the first active device object path, use the D-Bus properties
 interface to get the "Ip4Address" property of the device

 Just repeat the process when the NM state changes.
