This is indeed subtle, since it happens during a very short period of time. I
don't think the spec is to blame. The solution you proposed (to suspend async
calls until dependent calls has complete) is the right solution. It's also true
for any implementation of any specs. As I never wrote such a cascading I don't
know what effort is required or if some tp-glib tools would help here to manage
this.

Currently only MyZone has UI for it. It's a bit of work to do all the
account/connection monitoring but when the MailNotification interface is
reached it's quite straightforward to update UI with it.

Right, I was busy with proxy support, but I did not forgot. I'll do this today.

So far I'm happy with it and I'm confident that writing other UIs (What about
Empathy, or a Gnome Applet/Tray) using this interface would not be an issue.
