Any 'open convo notifiers' work(AFAIK) by detecting when someone makes a connection to you. But many things can trigger this, for example; someone looking at your contact card; someone opening a conversation; WLM getting your latest DP etc etc. - This is why they are not 100% accurate. In fact, far from it.

In answer to your question, you could use the Open Conversation Notifier script, because it would work exactly the same as a script that detected when your contact card was clicked. It would also be, just as unreliable and would alert you even if a connection was made that wasn't made because someone clicked your contact card.

There isn't(yet?) any way to distinguish between the different connections.

Anyone correct me if I was wrong about anything please =p
