Additionally, we're trying to have the Shell be more of a native client for Telepathy rather than a set of hacks that were incorrect according to spec (observers technically shouldn't send messages, etc.), but worked anyway. > and while the chat windows stay on the notification bar, but they have no > sign that there might be new messages. > Making the Shell play nicer with Telepathy can help everybody... we can ACK messages too!
