Comment (by thomaslee):

 I think I'm capable of tackling this (and I'd find it useful -- I want to
 see unread messages in my i3bar, but this is blocking me :)).

 Looks like I could implement this as a dbus wrapper method in dbus-
 server.c per deryni's conversation from ~2 years ago, but it seems it
 would be cleaner to add e.g.

 purple_conversation_get_unseen(const PurpleConversation *conv)

 to conversation.h & let dbus-analyze-functions.py work its magic to expose
 it via DBus. Of course, this would expose purple_conversation_get_unseen
 via the C API (something which is already accessible via
 purple_conversation_get_data to boot). Not sure how much anybody cares.

 I can have a crack at this over the weekend, but any strong opinions wrt
 the implementation?
