Laptop was running both salut and gabble at same time

[wad]

In a recent test (build 703), we found laptops which were showing a small number of the total laptops in the "school". In many cases, these laptops were found to be running Salut for presence, instead of Gabble (#6881). In a smaller number of cases, we found laptops running BOTH Salut and Gabble.

Logs and packet traces, as well as a more detailed description of the test setup, can be found at: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Collab_Network_School_Wifi_Tests#Test_0410A

1207876103.302794 DEBUG s-p-s.telepathy_plugin: <ServerPlugin object at 0x81c5dc4 (telepathy_plugin+TelepathyPlugin at 0x82cb800)>: Connect() failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

The D-Bus Connect method is implemented in telepathy-glib and its code is very simple. Seems weird it can't return but I guess that's the reason why everything goes wrong.

Another possibility is the connection between Gabble and the session bus was broken.

I wrote a patch in telepathy-glib that will help us to detect when the CM is disconnected from the session bus. It will be in the next tp-glib release.

Change is now in Joyride. Please post logs if you are able to reproduce this issue.
