Description Will Thompson 2010-12-01 08:53:56 UTC

Currently, TP_ACCOUNT_MANAGER_FEATURE_CORE becoming ready means that TP_ACCOUNT_FEATURE_CORE is prepared on all the accounts that existed at the time that TP_ACCOUNT_MANAGER_FEATURE_CORE was prepared, but no later accounts have this guarantee.

This strikes me as inauspicious. It makes the API harder to use. Happily this isn't currently a problem for me.

The attached branch documents the current behaviour, but doesn't fix this bug. It does also add tp_account_get_path_suffix().

Clone it, or leave this bug open?

Looks good: I think it also be worth saying:

    For persistent identification of the account, use
    tp_proxy_get_object_path().

since that's not trivially obvious (due to living in a superclass).

r+ apart from that.
