[Telepathy] Review of MissionControl spec

Maybe just add a small notice "Changes will only be applied on the next 
reconnect" and a "Reconnect" button to the editing dialog only if the 
account shown is already connected.

I'm not sure a silent reconnect is a good thing, but I'm pretty sure an 
additional popup dialog is not! ;)
