[Telepathy] Empathy avatar from pixbuf

[Xavier Claessens]

Hello,


Your way is clearly suboptimal because that take a pixbuf, save it on
file, load the file to a data buffer, create a pixbuf from the buffer.

Can't you get the raw data from cheese's API instead of a pixbuf? So you
could call avatar_chooser_set_image_from_data().

Regards,
Xavier Claessens.
