           Summary: May accidentally release the bus names of active
                    connections
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: git master
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: tp-glib
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

With the fix for bug 10613, there's now an exciting bug whereby telepathy-glib
may release the bus name for an active connection. I have a Gabble currently
running with four open connections but only one corresponding bus name.

Here's what I think happened:

• I undocked my laptop. This got rid of the wired connection, but MC doesn't
notice so the connections stayed open.
• I switched to Offline in Empathy. This made MC call Disconnect() on Gabble.
THe connection released its bus name (because tp-glib does this in
change_status(Disconnected)), but stayed alive waiting for some callbacks.
• I switched back to Online. A new connection was made; it claimed the same bus
name.
• Finally the callbacks fired, and thus the old connection was unreffed and
could be disposed. In _dispose(), TpBaseConnection drops its bus name again.

Patch to follow.
