I ve found out a way to trace all the calls made to DirectX.
Download and install the DirectX SDK (I installed the August 2009).
Run an application called PIX for Windows in the DirectX SDK -> DirectX Utilities
Create a new experiment from the File menu. Select "a replayable Direct3D call stream, saved to file:", enter a filename and select your application.
When you exit your application a complete trace of all DirectX calls will be shown complete with a timeline.
