How much of this is a solved problem via
libsocialweb & the status panel:
http://gitorious.org/+meego-netbook-ux-team/meego-netbook-ux/meego-panel-status?page=16
in the MeeGo Netbook UX, and/or the Me Menu:
https://launchpad.net/indicator-me in Ubuntu? If there are concerns
about things not being done the right way by these projects, perhaps
their authors might be willing to address those concerns?

Cheers,
Dave.
