a prpl's set_idle function can be called before the login function
this is because the signing-on signal is emitted, and there's a callback to check idle and update all the prpls attached to that signal
this meant that if you were idle, and got disconnected from jabber, upon attempting to reconnect, you'd segfault
I've changed how jabber handles idle updates to work around this. someone may want to audit the other prpls, to make sure their set_idle callbacks (if any) don't assume the connection is up

Notes on keeping GAIM OS independant ------------------------------------ General ------- - Use G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S and G_DIR_SEPARATOR for paths - Use g_getenv, g_snprintf, g_vsnprintf - Use gaim_home_dir instead of g_get_home_dir or g_getenv("HOME") - Make sure when including win32dep.h that it is the last header to be included. - Open binary files when reading or writing with 'b' mode. e.g: fopen("somefile", "wb"); Not doing so will open files in windows using defaut translation mode. i.e. newline -> <CR><LF> Paths ----- - DATADIR, LOCALEDIR & LIBDIR are defined in wingaim as functions. Doing the following will therefore break the windows build: printf("File in DATADIR is: %s\n", DATADIR G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S "pic.png"); it should be: printf("File in DATADIR is: %s%s%s\n", DATADIR, G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S, "pic.png"); PLUGINS & PROTOS ---------------- - G_MODULE_EXPORT all functions which are to be accessed from outside the scope of its "dll" or "so". (E.G. gaim_plugin_init) - G_MODULE_IMPORT all global variables which are located outside your dynamic library. (E.G. connections) (Not doing this will cause "Memory Access Violations" in Win32)
