I think that the error message is rather misleading. CaptureWorkspace 
expects some input arguments, but the example code provides none so 
QtDBus says that there's no CaptureWorkspace **with the specified** 
signature.

CaptureWorkspace expects two arguments: a dictionary with various 
options (it can be empty), and a pipe file descriptor where kwin will 
write screenshot to. A good example how to use that API is spectacle or
