SF Patch #1686400 from Eoin Coffey ("ecoffey")
ecoffey described the changes:
1) Small tweaks to the loader to bring it up to speed with new mono
versions and API wrapper changes that grim had made. (was in original
patch, just forgot about it :-P)
2) .NET Plugins are now required to define an Id as part of their info.
3) Modified gaim_probe_plugin to check for existence of info->id and to
make sure it's not empty; Prints an error, stores an error in the plugin
and sets plugin->unloadable = TRUE.

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.
