Yeah, I've been looking for a while :) Unfortunately I don't think there is
anything that would work in Webkit2 (and they all seem a bit dead). Might

Well, via IPC but it could talk directly to Telepathy rather than going
through the sugar shell first.

I actually tend to think we should go through the shell, it just bothers me
that we tried something similar before and we abandoned that approach.
