I think an icon name for the presets is what we really need, but the
GetIconName API can be handy anyways.

We have the SetDisplayName API; about the account icon, as I wrote above
I think it's not a useful concept: I'd have an icon associated with the
preset, or maybe with the CM.

[...agree on the rest...]

If I got the picture correctly, some package will install presets file
in XDG_DATA_DIRS/telepathy/presets, which MC will monitor and process as
soon as a new .presets file appears.
So, some questions about this:

1) Should MC monitor for the presets files, of should there be an API
which tells MC to refresh its idea of presets files?

2) Clients will need a ListPresets() (of FindPresets(), with some
parameters such as the protocol or the CM) API for enumerating presets.
Also, a PresetsAdded/Deleted signal to be informed when a new file
appears/disappears.

BTW, we are still missing the Set/GetAlias method and AliasChanged signal.

Ciao,
