Instead of creating a Connection directly (with RequestConnection), create an Account in the AccountManager, and tell it to connect. Then, use that Connection. See: http://people.collabora.co.uk/~danni/telepathy-book/chapter.accounts.html Existing Telepathy clients like Empathy also use the account manager, so for a simple application, telling users to create an account using Empathy is the easiest thing to do. Similarly, to interact nicely with other clients, you should deal with Channels via the ChannelDispatcher rather than using the Requests interface directly; see: http://people.collabora.co.uk/~danni/telepathy-book/chapter.channel-dispatcher.html The reference implementation of an AccountManager and ChannelDispatcher is telepathy-mission-control version 5. 5.4.x is the current stable branch, and 5.5.x is the development branch. In principle, someone could write an alternative implementation, but we don't recommend doing that :-) Simon _______________________________________________ telepathy mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/telepathy
