I am trying to actually avoid dealing with telepathy, mainly because I haven't seen the need for but also because I haven't figured it out.

Right now I use a dbus call to com.nokia.csd to start a phone call. I have looked everywhere for a way to do the same with skype and haven't found one (do you happen to have any hints for me on how to do that?). Right now I just start the dialer with another dbus call passing the phone number and the user has to change the call type to skype and push the call button - far too complicated for my goal.

Does tor include a dial pad ui for you to place a call or the user just use the standard phone app and select tor as the call type like one can do with skype? I don't actually want to create any ui to handle the call, I just want to start the call to a number from my application with whatever ui exists

Thanks for the quick reply
