Yes, ecore integrates with the mainloop from glib so that shouldn't be a problem.
It would be great to have an EFL based client for Telepathy. If you're
interested, we (the aMSN team) already started (a few years ago) working on a
python based client and you could easily port it to use telepathy instead of
directly using papyon. I've wanted to do that for a while but haven't had time.
We have an EFL front end for aMSN2 although I'm not sure of its current status.
Interested ?
