Comment(by bemasc):

 Replying to [comment:4 smcv]:
 > Where did you see the "change" to HelloMesh? Was it reflected in the UI
 or a debug message not prefixed with sugar.presence.activity, or was it
 just in the sugar.presence.activity debug messages? If the latter, I think
 you've been misled - I think the fact that it stopped working was probably
 unrelated.

 You are right: I saw the change in my activity's own logfile, but prefixed
 by sugar.presence.activity, at the same time that my activity stopped
 working.  There was no change in the UI other than the failure to
 function.  Your diagnosis sounds entirely reasonable, although putting
 debug messages into unrelated activities' logfiles is a pretty strange
 design.

 I still suspect a Telepathy bug is responsible for my activity failure,
 but that is a topic for another bug.
