Turning animating off makes the initial load look a little bit quicker as things move less. I don't want to disable it completely though as it does look better afterwards.

Ideally we'll turn it on after we've done the initial fetch and we know which contacts are online or not.

The hard part..working out when initial loading has happened. 

Should this go via libkpeople; given we show contacts immediately maybe KTp should delay it's initalFetchComplete() signal till it's got the presences.

We could put a signal in GlobalContactManager when it has done onContactManagerStateChanged for every account in the initial fetch 
(less trivial than it sounds)

...or we can go the plasma way and just add a timer :D
