I propose to extend the base Ekiga::Presentity class with this api call:
virtual const std::list<std::string> get_emblems () const = 0;

The said emblems would appear in the GUI as little icons decorating the
presentity and be used in the following use-cases :
- in the main contact view, we could have information about how 
privileged the contact is (for example those able to call us even in 
do-not-disturb would have a star/heart shape in their emblems list) ;
- in a chat room's heap view, the emblems could materialize people 
having voice or operator privileges ;
- in chat room's heap view again, the is-composing feature could be just 
a "is-composing" emblem...

What do you think about it?
