The issue to include GNOME Contacts without having thunberbird 
integration is the dichotomy in contact manager. Why do my contacts I 
added in GNOME contact don't appear in Thunberbird and vice-versa? I 
think we should look into its inclusion (which would be great, as 
describe, with the nice Shell integration) if someone volounteer to look 
into having it integrated with Thunderbird to only have one contact 
provider on the system.

Cheers,
Didier
