I agree about the "number-of-clicks-it-takes-to-dial-out" bit, but I'm not jubilant about my status yet: I don't have a common way to dial out.
On the n900 to dial out via GSM, there is a d-bus "api".
But it is recommended to use telepathy. Why? Because thats "the one way" that works for GSM, skype, and sip on the n900 without any hackiness like talking straight to dbus.

In the last 2 months that I've read and re-read the telepathy documents, I've learnt a lot, but not enough to understand how to dial out without me being the one handling the protocol details.

My hunch is that I will probably have to be content with dialing out using dbus on the n900 - which means no dial out for skype or sip on n900.

PS: On desktop linux and windows, I can dial out using skype - no telepathy involved there.
