(14:37:58) rlaager: siege, ArdentlyGnarly: We should correct the docs for gaim_proxy_connect... how does this sound? "@return zero for success, any other value for failure" ... (14:39:22) Jonathan Clark (ArdentlyGnarly): we really don't know whether or not the call was successful at the time it returns (14:39:55) Jonathan Clark (ArdentlyGnarly): we get that information when things get back around to the callback passed to gaim_proxy_connect (14:42:08) Jonathan Clark (ArdentlyGnarly): perhaps: @return zero indicates connection is pending, any other value for failure committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

# A little shell script for communicating with gaim using dbus

    cat <<EOF 
This program uses dbus to talk to gaim.  If the gaim is not running and
the dbus engine is set up correctly, a new instance of gaim will be started.

   Syntax: gaim-send method-name parameter1 parameter2 ..."

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

Examples:

   gaim-send Ping 
   gaim-send Quit
   gaim-send GetBuddyList
   gaim-send GetBuddyProperty int32:5 string:alias
   gaim-send StartIMConversation int32:5

See src/dbus-services.xml for the list of supported operations.
