           Summary: should tell bus daemon to reload .service files on
                    startup?
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: telepathy-mission-control
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk


McdDispatcher could call o.f.DBus.ReloadConfig() (or whatever it's really
called) just before calling ListActivatableNames()?

11:28 < grundleborg> should MC rescan for .client files whenever it is 
                     launched? I'm having weird problems getting it to register 
                     all the auto-activatable clients on my system
11:30 < smcv> grundleborg: .client file does not imply activatable
11:30 < smcv> grundleborg: .service implies activatable
11:30 < smcv> grundleborg: dbus-daemon is meant to inotify for them, but it 
              doesn't always work, afaics
11:32 < smcv> grundleborg: MC just asks the dbus-daemon what's activatable, so 
              if the dbus-daemon hasn't noticed, you lose
11:32 < smcv> grundleborg: arguably MC should force dbus-daemon to reload just 
              before doing that? patches welcome

This doesn't solve the "activatable client added during runtime" use-case, for
which we need to make dbus-daemon's inotification actually work.
