I think that you have to handle the notifications specifically for the case where Empathy isn't running. Also, in theory, there could be other telepathy consumers other than Empathy. If we handled all the notification in the telepathy-indicator, then those could also plug in seamlessly. > * telepathy-glib doesn't provide an API for PendingMessages and > PendingMessagesRemoved.

Seems like it'd be easier to patch telepathy-glib than connect directly to the DBus signals, eh? It seems like if it's in the DBus interface the patch would be welcome. --Ted
