           Summary: Need some way for handlers to know that a Channel was
                    approved by the user
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: tp-spec
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: sjoerd at luon.net


The current ChannelDispatcher behaviour is that when there are now approvers
(or the approver crashes) for a channel, it gets dispatched immediately to the
handler. This is obviously desirable, what is less desirable is that a handler
can't know the channel it was asked to handle was approved by something (either
a user or some auto-acceptor).

While this is ok in some cases, e.g. text channels where it would just cause a
chat window popping up, it's less desirable in other cases, e.g. on an incoming
audio/video call which pops up a call ui and starts sending a/v.. 

A solution for this would be to put information in the HandlerInfo to state
that this channel has been approved. Handlers for channels where skipping
approval is a problem can then check this flag (if it's not set they can either
pop up some dodgy UI, or more likely, kill the channel)
