Damn. We might not even be able to solve this... it's almost certainly
dbus-glib's fault.

(dbus-glib doesn't differentiate between 16- and 32-bit integers - it maps them
both to G_TYPE_[U]INT - so it doesn't notice the difference. Python is also
very permissive about types, so we've never encountered this problem in GLib
and Python bindings...)

As a temporary workaround, don't bother calling GetAvatarRequirements, and just
assume something reasonable (64x64 JPEGs or PNGs should work on most protocols
for instance).

We could work around this service-side by adding an AvatarRequirements property
that avoids the problematic 16-bit types.
