           Summary: Sometimes leaks freshly-created connections.
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: mission-control
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: will.thompson at collabora.co.uk
         QAContact: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org


The illustrious Robert McQueen reported that he had a Gabble connection kicking
around that Mission Control didn't know about, preventing him from connecting
to that account. Some investigation revealed that it was in the “NEW” state
telepathy-glib uses internally to mean “no-one called Connect() yet”.

This suggests that something went wrong in the gap between MC calling
RequestConnection() and calling Connect().

One hypothesis is that MC crashed while introspecting the connection before
calling Connect() on it, and the MC crash recovery code didn't shoot the
connection in the head, but nor did it pick up where it left off.
