Hi, I have a little problem with gossip. Before connecting an account I check if there is no existing connection. So for each object on the bus which is prefixed by "org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection." I inspect the handle and compare it with the "account" parameter of the gossip's account. If it matchs I use that existing dbus object.
The problem is it don't work in all cases. For example IRC uses the "account" parameter for the nickname and it's not unique. So if there is an existing connection with nickname "xclaesse" on gimpnet and I want to connect to freenode with the same nickname gossip thinks it's already connected, which is false ! I think only the CM can check if an account is already connected. I see 2 solutions here: 1) RequestConnection returns the existing object if it's already connected. Currently if I try to connect an account that is already connected I get this error: * (gossip:6771): WARNING **: Connect() failed: Error acquiring bus name org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection.idle.irc.xclaesse_irc_freenode_net, The connection manager already has this connection active. 2) Add a new function like GetExistingConnection which returns the object if it already exists and does nothing otherwise. What do you think about ? Xavier Claessens.
