SF Patch #1472156 from miguelrp
"Current betas of gaim render the buddy icon to a pifmap
with a 1-bit alpha mask before displaying them in the
conversation window.
This patch eliminates the transformation from a pixbuf
to a pixmap and, at the same time, preserves the full
alpha contents of the original buddy icon."
Perhaps I'm missing something, but the conversion doesn't seem necessary.
Icons still display properly for me.

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.
