[gaim-migrate @ 16283] SF Patch #1500688 from Brian Chu (roast) He already committed this to his soc-2006-file-loggers branch. Here's the patch description: In util.c, gaim_markup_html_to_xhtml() doesn't trim spaces of parsed background colors, parsed font names, or the end result for styles (which inserted spaces for the purpose of many span.style attributes). For example, things like this get written to the log: <span style='font-size: small; '> Things like the following this _can_ written to the log given a tag like this: <font face=" Comic Sans MS "> <span style='font-family: Comic Sans MS ; '> Same for: <body bgcolor=" Red "> <span style='background: Red ;'> committer: Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>

This file describes how to compile and run gaim with dbus support.
Hopefully, most of the steps from point 3 will soon be automated.


1. Make sure you have the latest version (0.34) of the dbus library
   installed, including glib bindings.  

   http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/dbus


2. Compile gaim

   ./configure --enable-dbus
   make
   make install


3. Configure your dbus instalation for gaim

   A. Find your dbus session configuration file, usually

      /etc/dbus-1/session.conf

   B. In that file, find the <servicedir> section.  This section
      contains the directory that stores files describing services,
      usually

      /usr/share/dbus-1/services

   C. Copy src/dbus-gaim.service to that directory

   D. Edit the dbus-gaim.service file you've just copied, and replace
      the path in the "Exec=" line with the path to your gaim
      executable.


4. Start Session DBUS if you haven't done it already

   eval `dbus-launch --session`
   export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID

   These commands will set the two above shell variables.  These
   variables must be set before running any dbus-aware programs.

Start gaim as usual.  To communicate with it, use "gaim-send".  When
you execute gaim-send, the dbus system will automatically start a gaim
process if one is not running already.
