Patch #1226486 from Levi Bard
Fixes bug #1224178
If you change the topic in a chat room and that topic change is rejected, the
topic field is wrong -- it shows the new topic even thought it didn't get set.
This patch resets the GUI's topic immediately when you hit enter. Then, if the
topic change is successful, the server will echo the topic change back to us
and we'll update the GUI to the new topic.
The only question is, does the server always echo the topic back to us? From the
core's point of view, I'm ready to assume yes. It's the case for both IRC and
Jabber*. If someone could test changing a topic in SILC or Zephyr, that'd be
great. If servers using those protocols do not echo the topic back, the prpl
will have to fake it as appropriate.
* I didn't actually test on Jabber, but Nathan said the server will echo the
topic change back. If it's broken, let me know.

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.
