You will need to keep a copy to show them to the user anyway. And notice 
that a same contact could be shown at several places through the user 
interface!

The "roster" is the list of 'dead' contacts. I use 'dead' to distinguish 
them from 'live' contacts.

The situation is that you may have jc jabber lat in your roster, with 
the information that the name is "Julius Caesar", and belongs to the 
groups "Politicians" and "Jokers". But when he connects from his pda, he 
will show up as jc jabber lat/pda, and will neither be able to do VoIP, 
nor receive XHTML messages. When he is home, he connects from his 
computer as jc jabber lat/home, and will be able to do both. Now he goes 
to work, from where he shows up as jc jabber lat/work, which can do 
XHTML messaging, but not VoIP.

No problem. More brains means better solutions :-)

Well, glib is nice. The main problem KDE problem have with it is that it 
begins with a 'g' and is already used in GNOME. :-)
