The AccountManager and
Account interfaces are implemented
in Mission Control 5.
Mission Control 4 implements a completely
different interface which is not documented here.
The Account Manager is implemented as part of Mission Control and is
responsible for keeping a list of accounts (e.g. XMPP/Jabber, IRC, MSN).
The Account Manager is also responsible for maintaining the
Connection to each account and
setting the presence on that connection.
The service is available on the session bus via the well-known bus name
org.freedesktop.Telepathy.AccountManager, object
/org/freedesktop/Telepathy/AccountManager and
interface org.freedesktop.Telepathy.AccountManager.
To get a list of all accounts known to the Account Manager, you can
access the ValidAccounts and
InvalidAccounts properties, both of which return an
array of D-Bus objects. Valid accounts are accounts that are complete
and usable for establishing a connection to a remote service. Invalid
accounts are incomplete or otherwise unusable and cannot be used to
establish a connection.
