--- Comment #2 from Simon McVittie <simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk> ---
Since Idle uses GSocketClient, which calls into GProxyResolver plugins, one way
to do this might be for someone who understands Tor (I don't!) to implement a
GProxyResolver which, when placed on the search path, directs all
GLib-originated TCP and DNS-over-UDP through Tor. It could probably even be a
GSimpleProxyResolver subclass.

Having done that, refining that proof-of-concept to 'reduce the Tor "proxy" to
low priority so it isn't used by default, and only use it for selected
accounts' would be fairly easy.

That approach could also work for non-Telepathy services.
