SF Patch #1598994 from lexande
Fixes SF Bug #1581999
Original Description:
"The gaim 2.0.0beta5 log reader plugin uses the "Date" XML field in MSN logs, the format of which varies between locales, leading to logs being displayed on incorrect/future dates in locales that do not use the MM/DD/YYYY format. This patch fixes the plugin to use the "DateTime" field which has YYYY-MM-DD date in all locales."
I totally Warmenhovened this patch. My approach:
"I'm using the Date, Time, and DateTime fields. If I can determine that the log matches the current timezone, it'll display 100% properly in the log viewer. If it has a reasonable offset, it'll display as the original time, sort in the right place, but not have a timezone abbreviation. If the offset is bogus or I can't parse the Date or Time field, it'll display in UTC, but still sort properly. I think this is as ideal as is possible, given the data we have to work with."
You don't have to understand this. ;)

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.
