* Special handling for emergency calls
* Handling of connectivity (libconic) events
* State management via MCE: MC tells MCE when we are in a call, and listens to 
MCE signals (offline mode requires some special handling)
* Password storage is done with signon daemon.
* Missed call notifications

There is some more, but this are the most obvious things.
The proprietary components are the /usr/bin/mission-control binary and the 
plugins in /usr/lib/mission-control/.

Ciao,
