[gaim-migrate @ 17778] SF Patch #1598994 from lexande Fixes SF Bug #1581999 Original Description: "The gaim 2.0.0beta5 log reader plugin uses the "Date" XML field in MSN logs, the format of which varies between locales, leading to logs being displayed on incorrect/future dates in locales that do not use the MM/DD/YYYY format. This patch fixes the plugin to use the "DateTime" field which has YYYY-MM-DD date in all locales." I totally Warmenhovened this patch. My approach: "I'm using the Date, Time, and DateTime fields. If I can determine that the log matches the current timezone, it'll display 100% properly in the log viewer. If it has a reasonable offset, it'll display as the original time, sort in the right place, but not have a timezone abbreviation. If the offset is bogus or I can't parse the Date or Time field, it'll display in UTC, but still sort properly. I think this is as ideal as is possible, given the data we have to work with." You don't have to understand this. ;) committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

This program calls gaim API functions using DBus and prints the return value.
If you are not interested in the return value, use gaim-send-async.

Usage:

   $0 method-name type1:parameter1 type2:parameter2 ...

This shell script just invokes dbus-send, see man dbus-send for how 
to specify the parameters.  

Examples:

   $0 GaimAccountsFindConnected string: string:prpl-jabber
   $0 GaimAccountsGetAll
   $0 GaimCoreQuit

Use dbus-viewer to get the list of supported functions and their parameters.
