GNOME preferred VoIP apps setup

[Julien Gilli <jgilli acm org>]

Hello,

I've posted something about this on gnomecc-list gnome org and as a
comment to the bug #171872 . Since i got no feedback, i decided to post
on this list, hoping to get some more :-). Feel free to point me to 
somewhere else more appropriate.

I've made a small hack to manage the various VoIP clients that handle
different protocols easily with the GNOME control center.

I've posted a blog entry about this here :
http://julien.quicheaters.org/ . I don't know if my proposal is worth
the effort, but i would appreciate any feedback on this.

Someone on #gnome-love told me about telepathy (
http://telepathy.freedesktop.org ). It seems to be pretty promising and
the right thing to do in the future. However, such an elegant solution
would take time to come up with.

I've also read http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171872 . So my
blog entry may be my answer to the "Are other categories needed?"
question :-).

I'll update the http://live.gnome.org/PreferencesRevisited Wiki page if
you think that VoIP clients should be part of the GNOME setup.

Thank you very much for your attention.

All the best,
