So, just to throw my thoughts in:

I think the API works, except for the TpContact::avatar-retrieved signal. This
returns the avatar data in a highly unsuitable way, requiring the use of a
GdkPixbufLoader and about 5 lines of code to load a GdkPixbuf from the
contents.

The signal should instead pass a GFile for the file on disk, or a GInputStream
so that gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file, or gdk_pixbuf_new_from_stream can be used.
This will make the data a lot easier to consume.

Arguably, since things like Adium themes in Empathy require the avatar as a
filename, we should expose it as a filename here.
