           Summary: add api to find the tpccount a contact belongs to
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: tp-glib
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: f.kaser at gmx.net
         QAContact: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org


The problem has arisen, because folks exposes only tpcontacts, which is
reasonable. But empathy, folks and any potential other client need the
tpaccount in order to do anything with the contact (folks needs it to set some
attributes in tpfpersona, e.g. the protocol). empathy and folks both use the
same approach: they get the connection from the contact, get all the accounts
from the account manager and compare the connection of each account to the
connection of the contact.

tp-glib should provide some api to do this in an easy way without getting all
the accounts and comparing them yourself.
