           Summary: Reverse tube offering ("please give me a VNC server")
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: low
         Component: telepathy-spec
        AssignedTo: telepathy at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk


Currently the actions you can do with Tubes are (using VNC desktop-sharing as
an example):

* method called by Bob: "please start a VNC server and let Alice connect"
(CreateChannel/Offer)
* signal seen by Alice: "Bob offered to let you connect to his VNC server"
(NewChannels)

It might also be good to have the reverse:

* method called by Alice: "please ask Bob to share his desktop with me"
* signal seen by Bob: "Alice has requested that you start a VNC server and let
her connect"

(after which Bob would continue as above).

In the case of VNC this would be particularly useful as a support tool, e.g. if
Bob is asking Alice to show him how to do something, Alice could reply with one
of these requests.
