Pidgin

Hey guys,

I'm not a developer but an enduser, and I was wondering if there were
any status updates on future rendezvous support in GAIM?  specifically
having it be able to talk to iChat clients.

This would be awesome for small businesses with mixed platforms.  Mac
users can use iChat to talk to Windows and Linux users using GAIM.  No
Jabber server with registration and passwords would have to be managed.

Thanks!

Hello!

I tried to compile gaim-1.1.2 for Solaris 5.9. I got the following error
message in gaim/src/protocols/msn:

  if /bin/bash ../../../libtool --silent --mode=compile --tag=CC gcc

  /usr/include/sys/poll.h:124: error: previous declaration of 'poll' was

As far as I can see, the include files have a dependency to
/usr/include/sys/poll.h. There and in httpconn.c are two functions named
poll. 

As a temporary workaround, I renamed poll() in httpconn.c.

Dear GAIM developers,

Coming May we are organizing an NLUUG conference.  This time it's
about e-mail and related things, including messaging.  The NLUUG is the
Dutch Unix User Group.  The NLUUG conferences are oriented to a
technical audience.  We often have experts in their field, mixed with
practical and educational presentations.  Linus Torvalds did his first
foreign presentation at our conference.

I was wondering if one of you would be interested in doing a talk about
GAIM.  We are especially looking for presentations with good contents,
not something that any user or programmer could come up with.

More information, the Call for Papers and the form to submit an abstract
can be found on our website:

	http://www.nluug.nl/events/vj05/index-en.html

Note that this conference is in Holland.  Our budget is limited, thus
someone in the neighborhood would be preferred.

The deadline for abstracts is January 31st!  Well, we can extend it a
few days, but not much longer.

Let me know if you have any questions.

- Bram

these are simply standard gtk2 themes (with the exception of wimp, 
which is a win32 specific gtk theme). on unix you would have a 
~/.gtkrc-2.0 that would hold your theme information. there is a 
corresponding file for win32 users, but i do not know where it should 
be saved to. the theme selection at install time in gaim's installer 
is basically a hack around the fact that windows users are not used to 
dealing with custom config files for such things.  we are thus 
modifying the global gtkrc that would normally be overriden by your 
personal one (which is why it gets overriden with each install).

Hello :)

    I am trying to update the Gadu-Gadu protocol in Gaim and I have
encountered on strange behaviour of gaim_blist_add_buddy.  After
importing list of buddies from server buddies shows twice in the list,
there is a ordinary buddy entry and also an empty group with name of the
buddy.

Take a look at this screenshot: http://python.org.pl/~kbryd/gaim.png
(__ignored_32 is a real group)

I am pretty sure that the code is correct, however, have a look at
this:

		if (!gaim_find_buddy(gc->account, uin)) {
			GaimBuddy *b;
			GaimGroup *g;
			/* Default group if none specified on server */
			gchar *group = g_strdup("Gadu-Gadu");
			if (strlen(data_tbl[5])) {
				gchar **group_tbl = g_strsplit(data_tbl[5], ",", 2);
				if (strlen(group_tbl[0])) {
					g_free(group);
					group = g_strdup(group_tbl[0]);
				}
				g_strfreev(group_tbl);
			}
			/* Add Buddy to our userlist */
			if (!(g = gaim_find_group(group))) {
				gaim_debug(GAIM_DEBUG_MISC, "gg", "group=%s\n", group);
				g = gaim_group_new(group);
				gaim_blist_add_group(g, NULL);
			}
			b = gaim_buddy_new(gc->account, uin, show);
			gaim_blist_add_buddy(b, NULL, g, NULL);

			userlist_size++;
			userlist = g_renew(uin_t, userlist, userlist_size);
			userlist[userlist_size - 1] =
			    (uin_t) strtol((char *)uin, (char **)NULL, 10);

			g_free(group);
		}

This is almost unchanged from what is in the CVS. I have added debug
line to make sure that only 3 unique groups are actually in the buddy
list, and in fact gaim_group_new() is called only three times.

What can be wrong?

Thanks for any clues.

I think that's the best solution, but then again if I wanted to add
jabber buddies to my list I would probably set that in my MSN nick, or
ask the ones that may have one; they can't be too many.

I've been going through the sources, and very much
appreciate the use of g_return_val_if_fail and
g_return_if_fail. My question is about the few
functions that don't use them at all, or the functions
that seem to make assumptions which cannot be verified
in that function itself.

Are the g_return* functions sufficiently expensive to
only use them when the risk is above a threshold, or
is it acceptable to use them even more judiciously
than they already are?

If there are no reasons it is not a good idea, I would
be willing to take a good hard look at any and all
functions that attract my interest while I examine the
gaim source.

Hi,

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Login using hotmail account.
2. Initiate chat with a buddy
3. The buddy will not get any message that he is invited and he will be
automatically added to the room
4. Send a message to that buddy
5. Assume that the buddy closes the conversation window after reading
the message
6. Now try to send another message
7. You will get a message like "Unable to send the message"

Can anyone please tell me this should be the behavior(no intimation to
the buddy being invited and the error message at step 7).

Thanks in advance,
Shaheed.

I _think_ Changing the font in the gtkrc file should have fixed this... Maybe
someone else will have some ideas.

You need to change the "Default Formatting" in preferences under "Message Text."

the same way you would compile gaim from source, except you need to 
use a $PREFIX of ~. so 
./conifugre --prefix="/path/to/your/home/directory"
make 
make install


naturally you will also need gaim's dependencies. if they are not 
available on your system, you will need to compile them the same way.

Couldn't you just add it to the info dialog? That would probably not be 
what this person was expecting but it would be a graceful way to find 
out such things. (Providing somebody actually reads the extra info)

to do this, we'd have to have the MSN prpl checking if the user has a 
jabber account.

we'd also be potentially opening up a can of worms. I have 2 jabber 
accounts, which one(s) do I want to advertise this way?

Since this really doesn't impact the Jabber protocol at all, you MSN

Hi.

Just a quick suggestion you might want to implement in Gaim in order to 
try and push Jabber adoption a little...

I'm the developer of PyMSNt, the MSN transport for Jabber, and I have 
written the transport so that every time a switchboard session is 
started, a x-clientcaps message is sent with the field
JabberID: someuser@...

If PyMSNt ever picks up one of these messages it notifies the user that 
the person they're talking to has a Jabber account, and perhaps they 
should chat there.

Hopefully that would be an easy addition to Gaim that would at least 
stop Jabber users from being unaware that they both have Jabber :)
It's only an annoyance once per session, and only if both people have 
Jabber accounts.

Gaim could listen for this message with the MSN protocol, and if the 
user has a Jabber account prompt them to add their contact's Jabber 
account and continue talking there.
For every MSN switchboard session that's started when the user has an 
active Jabber account the message could be sent.

Here's what PyMSNt sends (and listens for)

Content-Type: text/x-clientcaps
Client-Name: PyMSNt
JabberID: someuser@...

The Client-Name field is ignored upon receipt, but it might be useful 
some time.
Other fields could be their, but PyMSNt will ignore them. If it sees 
JabberID it will prompt the user.

What do you think? If you need any further info please let me know.

it sounds like you are trying to install or upgrade gaim while a gtk 
program (gaim or gimp probly) is running.
