annotate libpurple/eventloop.h @ 17141:03866cefa848

Patch #1054 from resiak. "Make Ctrl-[Shift-]Tab prefer tabs with higher-valued unseen_states to those which are nearer but have lower values. This has the effect of making Ctrl-Tab ignore conversations with activity like status changes when other tabs have unread messages, and prefer chats where you are hilighted even more. (By an amazing coincidence, this is exactly what meta-a does in irssi.)". This closes #1054. resiak: Thanks!
