GTK+ 2.16.0 will set the invisible character to a nice bullet instead of an asterisk, which has been the default up until now. So we should stop setting the invisible character ourselves in GTK+ 2.16.0 and higher. The comment in pidgin.h is cool because it talks about stuff that hasn't happened yet in the past tense.

- * See GNOME bug #307304 for some discussion about the invisible

+ * Older version of GNOME defaulted to using an asterisk as the invisible
+ * character.  But this is ugly and we want to use something nicer.
+ *
+ * The default invisible character was changed in Gnome revision 21446
+ * (GTK+ 2.16) from an asterisk to the first available character out of
+ * 0x25cf, 0x2022, 0x2731, 0x273a.  See GNOME bugs 83935 and 307304 for
+ * discussion leading up to the change.
