[Telepathy] How to share connections across applications?

[Paddy Carman]

Hi All,
    I have been successful creating text chats using the python
examples given in the Telepathy developer's manual.  I would like to
understand how to share telepathy connections across applications.
For instance, if I create an XMPP connection and a text channel using
the code in http://people.collabora.co.uk/~danni/telepathy-book/appendix.source-code.python_iface_messaging.example.py.html,
can I share that connection with other applications? If so, how do I
do it? Any pointers to example code would help!

Appreciate the help!

Thanks,
PC
