Ok for the first commit.

Second commit:

+	tuple = empathy_gdbus_channel_interface_otr1_get_remote_fingerprint (
+		priv->otr_proxy);
I have no idea how these new generated API work, but GVariant API are usually 'return: (transfer full)'  that's not the case here?

+	level = empathy_gdbus_channel_interface_otr1_get_trust_level (
+		priv->otr_proxy);
I guess this returns a cached value (not a blocking call) right? What happens if the proxy is not ready yet? Aren't we going to treat it as a wrong level and update it right after?

+		g_variant_get (tuple, "(&s at ay)", &fp, NULL);
What's the 'ay' arg being ignored? Please add at least one comment.

What happens if the user doesn't trust the fingerprint. The
communication is still crypted?

+        N_("/otr <action>: Interact with the Off-The-Record system.
Possible actions are:\n"

Is there a way to check (without changing) the current trust level?

+               g_variant_get (tuple, "(s at ay)", NULL, &fp_variant);

+		empathy_gdbus_channel_interface_otr1_call_initialize (
+			priv->otr_proxy, NULL, NULL, NULL);

How does the user know if the operation succeeded or not? Just wait for
the level update message? I think we should explicitely say if it failed
so user explicitely know the conversation is not "safe".

+		g_variant_get (tuple, "(s at ay)", NULL, &fp_variant);
I think fp_variant is leaked.

chat_command_otr() will crash/assert if one of the D-Bus API failed.
Also, shouldn't we use async API here?

trust_level_to_str(): I'd mention "encrypt using OTR" to be clearer and
avoid confusion my server encryption.
