A process started by dbus activation won't know which terminal to run in, what current directory to use, where to redirect its stdin/stdout, or be able to take additional command line arguments. As stated in the previous mail, I think I can probably do all this with a short lived dbus service that gets activated by empathy. But it seems like a round about way to get the command line process hooked up to the tube so I was wondering if there is a more direct route possible.

On the subject of command line apps, it would be nice to support an interaction model where I can run a command line app that makes use of a previously offered tube. From your description, it sounds like this could be done with a short-lived dbus service that empathy activates which sticks around long enough to pass the tube on to the command line app. But is it possible to do without such a service? @Xavier: cool.

Users should stick to 4.x. Of course I'll port my keyring patch to trunk once I get time for that. @luca: MC 5.0 is not yet usable, it breaks completely empathy when I tried it.

It seems that gnome-keyring support is not available on <a href="http://mission-control.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mission-control/trunk/configure.ac?view=log"svn trunk</a> (aka 5.0betaX) but only on 4.65 release: could you please lobby MC developers in order to have it in trunk too? Could be really good for people testing GNOME and Empathy with jhbuild. Thanks. Xavier, a little question about mission-control.

So it's possible to build a command-line program that make use of tubes. @John: 1) There is python bindings for libempathy and libempathy-gtk, yes. 2) We you receive an invitation the program is started via DBus activation so, yes, you need a .service, unless your program is already running. @James: All functions are in libempathy which do not depends on GTK+.
