Hello,

as it was brought up before on this list and elsewhere, regular apps do not
have direct access to address book contacts, and for good reason. One can
get vcards via the content hub interactively, whereas the avatars are not
accessible even there, needing the QtContacts API.

Was the possibility of allowing direct AddressBook DBus and QtContact
accesses gated by a nice Allow/Deny dialog like we now have for the camera?

This would be easier both for developers and friendlier for users IMHO. Am
I missing a reason why this is not possible technically?

thanks
Jani
