I forgot to mention that this fits in improving Empathy (GNOME).

> Some libpurple protocols do not work through purple-haze as those protocols
> use custom dialogs to request important information.
> As those can't be handled, big parts of protocols can't work properly.
>
> An example is Gfire where Gfire asks the username to be searched (for the
> Xfire user search) using purple dialogs.
> A solution would be to implement functions in libpurple that handles those
> problematic things, so that they could be handled in purple-haze.
> This would improve the working functionalities and improve libpurple on the
> same time.
>
> Once this would be implemented, protocols could use those functions so they
> would finally work through telepathy-haz.
>
> I would like to do this as GSOC and am searching a mentor.
> Please let me know.

> Thanks, kind regards, Warren.
