Show 'ABC is typing...' in the conversation window for typing notification.
seanegan suggested this, and it sounded like an interesting thing to do.
The change in gnttextview.c will need some more work if it is to be used for
some other task, but its current use should be OK.

27 * buddy list {{{ | |
28 * we have not committed any gobjectification, so this is not a blocker for 2.0.0 until we do. | |
29 * if we do, it is only a blocker to the extent that gaim needs to run. That is, we do not | |
30 *necessarily* have to gobjectifiy everything as long as we preserve functionality. | |
31 * That being said, my understanding of the signals mess says that it is probly more work to | |
32 try to do this in stages than to start it or not start it. | |
33 * This would require some sort of signal aggregation, as gobject signals are unique to the instance. | |
34 * one way to do this would be to emit the signals from a non-descript buddy object. this would | |
35 most closely mimic the current functionality | |
36 * a second way would be to actually try to aggregate them in some way. I really don't know how | |
37 possible this is, but it would allow us to do things like set a pounce on everyone in a group | |
38 or define sounds on a per-group basis. | |
39 * we could look at replacing the UI ops with signals/call backs | |

55 * Privacy {{{ | |
56 * this is not a blocker for 2.0.0 | |

58 msn, but also yahoo, jabber, and icq. | |
59 * We want to sync to the server as much as possible, entirely local-only privacy is not an option | |
60 except on protocols like irc that have no server-side. | |
61 * We want to be as consistent across protocols as possible. this will require renaming things on | |
62 some protocols. | |
63 * Bleeter suggests that we create a privacy.xml, remove privacy from blist.xml. He suggests | |
64 that each protocol define certain capabilities & defaults, with accounts.xml holding exceptions | |
65 to the defaults. | |
