Comment(by deryni):

 {{{
 (21:08:41) Masca: Someone with major dbus knowledge should take a look at
 this. #13542
 (21:41:57) deryni: That's a fall-out of (ab)using conversation data for
 things that really should be specifically supported (the same basic
 problem I have with the recent ConvBuddy hash table stuff).
 (21:42:16) deryni: The easiest solution is likely to write a dbus level
 wrapper function for it.
 (21:57:46) Masca: deryni: Like a
 purple_conversation_data_get_unread_count() ?
 (21:58:49) deryni: Honestly, I'd just go with
 PurpleConversationGetUnseen/Unread.
 (21:59:04) deryni: And leave libpurple to catch up if we eventually pull
 it out officially.
 }}}

 The other side of the coin is that when we actually get GObjectified
 conversations we aren't going to want to be playing these sorts of data
 games with under-specified fields and the automatic GObject/DBus
 registration stuff would ideally export all of this stuff for us (or at
 least make doing so trivial).
