Of course. I was just seeing what thoughts you had. At the moment, it's really academic curiosity anyway... at least until I get the log reader plugin in a releasable state. > > 5.

I thought they might be coming from Gaim as they had buddy icons. This is probably related to the Gaim/Evolution integration stuff I had turned on for a while. > As for starting a conversation, I believe this already works, but only > for AIM accounts.

You could use gaim-remote.py if it's found, falling back to gaim-remote otherwise. Alternatively, you could use the DBUS stuff directly, falling back to gaim-remote if it exists. > > 6.

I'll look into this. Like everyone else, I'm short on time so it'll be a while, but thanks. This gives me somewhere to start!
