           Summary: Account: do an ABI break to give UpdateParameters fewer
                    side-effects
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/smcv/telepathy-spec-
                    smcv.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/update-parameters
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: telepathy-mission-control
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #20905 +++

Mission Control 5 disconnects and reconnects the account whenever properties
that are not a DBusProperty are changed, in violation of telepathy-spec. This
is in order to achieve an "instant apply" model. However, I believe that MC is
the wrong place for this policy enforcement.

The proposed solution is to make UpdateParameters return a boolean, "reconnect
required", and let the client do the reconnect when it wants to, by calling a
new Reconnect() method.
