Fix the crash/leaks in statusbox *** Plucked rev 0cb6e54b ([e-mail]): Look up the old image before we store the new one in the hash table. Looking up the new image and then unref:ing it (hence freeing the data and subsequently returning it) is not good. This was causing problems with changing buddy icons while using mystatusbox. Refs #9120. *** Plucked rev d25c9ed7 ([e-mail]): Don't leak image refs in gtkstatusbox and assertion failure in nullprpl purple_imgstore_new_from_file gives us a ref and pidgin_status_box_set_buddy_icon also takes a ref.

char *(*image_deleting)(const PurpleStoredImage *img);

  @signaldesc
   Emitted when a #PurpleStoredImage is about to be destroyed.  This allows
   for what amounts to weak references.  Code can hold onto a pointer to
   the PurpleStoredImage without actually "holding" a reference.  They can
   then use a signal handler to let them know when their img is about to
   be destroyed.
  @param img The image about to be destroyed.
  @note It's not possible to purple_imgstore_ref() img to save it.
