I would suggest not returning objects on any of the dbus calls; this 
makes it harder to go through and debug the code both in the presence 
service and telepathy. We should try to keep it as simple as possible 
wrt the messages that are exchanged between the presence service and 
telepathy. The presence service currently offers a nice abstraction of 
how telepathy works, but this abstraction is hindered by the fact the 
the presence service returns telepathy objects.
