           Summary: should retry introspecting a CM before adding an account
                    for it
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: mission-control
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk


Before rejecting new accounts as impossible, MC should re-list activatable CMs,
and re-introspect the CM info, on the offchance that it has become possible to
create that account.

This might be blocked by dbus-daemon learning to pick up new .service files
during runtime.

(We don't have change notification for the list of activatable CMs, which can
only change by installing/uninstalling, the list of live CMs, which can
theoretically change at any time, or any of the CMs' info.)

Perhaps we need to work around dbus-daemon with a HelloIAmANewConnectionManager
signal, emitted by services' dpkg postinsts or whatever... :-(
