[gaim-migrate @ 15584] SF Patch #1428582 from Casey Harkins "The dbus stuff in gaim is using the namespace org.gaim. gaim.org is obviously not associated with gaim and chances are they would never need the dbus namespace. Regardless, it would probably be better if gaim used net.sf.gaim for the namespace. It'd be easier to change now than after 2.0 is released since things might start depending on gaim's dbus api. The dbus spec and tutorial both suggest/imply (though don't strictly require) that the namespace coorespond to a domain name that you own." committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
