And here is the branch!

I have updated the branch to make Service rw, and add a restriction flag.


12:01              wjt | i wonder whether it should instead be read-write so 
                         that Empathy can migrate Facebook and Google Talk 
                         accounts to have that property set appropriately
12:01             smcv | wjt: read-write but with a flag in A.I.Storage for 
                         "actually, no"? :-)
12:02       fledermaus | I was going to say.
12:02              wjt | exactly

If we or others will use them in object paths or filenames (very likely), then they should have a restricted format; my vote would be /[_A-Za-z][_A-Za-z0-9]+/ or /[A-Za-z][-A-Za-z0-9]+/.

If there's a chance that we might use values of Service in object paths, then it may be worth having their naming convention be like "google_talk".

And updated again to have the same naming rules as protocol names, and to add lj-talk to the well-known list.

(For the record, the reason GConf was mentioned is that poking GConf via libmissioncontrol was the official way to change parameters in Mission Control 4; there was no D-Bus representation at all.)

Merged; will be in 0.19.8. Thanks!
