Telepathy is based on D-Bus services, however this is about Telepathy
logger [1], which is a GObject-based implementation of a central logging
Telepathy component, which does not use D-Bus for sending the logs as it is
quite heavy data and D-Bus for this purpose is rather slow, so it provides
a direct access API. Our telepathy-logger-qt, which we want to move to
Extragear, basically just wraps the original logger into Qt-like API, so
that it can be used with Qt/KDE apps easily.
