What does this option, which I see when I right-click on a contact, do?

Greetings,

It's part of the live contacts feature. If one of your contacts changes their live contact
details, you'll get the orange star (gleam) notifying you.

Hi,

The current state of the documentation is rather poor at the moment. Shame really, there was
a time when it wasn't half bad (for explaining functionality anyway).
