Description Will Thompson 2008-11-10 15:20:42 UTC 
In the course of writing a D-Bus activity tool, I noticed that Empathy does not have any bus name other than its unique name.  This makes it impossible to figure out that the application calling methods is called "Empathy".

In the glorious Client API future, Empathy should at least claim the bus name org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.Empathy.  For now, perhaps it should claim org.gnome.Empathy or something?

yeah, we should do that.
