I'm precisely using 'telepathy' in the icon name to *not* trample on
other people's namespacing... if "im-msn" becomes a standard, we can
change the algorithm in our spec to search e.g. "im-gtalk",
"telepathy-jabber-gtalk", "im-jabber".

In the absence of standards, we shouldn't explicitly specify something that is
likely to conflict with future standardization.

I may be over-thinking this, however.
