            Bug ID: 71389
          Assignee: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: replace _mcd_account_needs_dispatch() (aka
                    always_dispatch)
        QA Contact: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: git master
         Component: mission-control
           Product: Telepathy

_mcd_account_needs_dispatch(), also known as the always_dispatch struct member
and attribute, has two orthogonal functions:

* flags the account as OK to connect even when the McdConnectivityMonitor
  thinks it shouldn't (suspending, no network, etc.)

* in mcd_connection_need_dispatch(), if a non-MC client has requested
  channels by "going behind MC's back", we would normally only pass them
  to Observers, but if the account has always_dispatch, we pass them
  to Handlers too (potentially leading to the non-MC client and the Handler
  fighting over the channel)

In practice, always_dispatch means "is telepathy-ring".

We should have a more reasonable API for these things, driven by what Telepathy
users actually need.
