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.

/** @page plugin-ids Plugin IDs @section Introduction Every plugin contains a unique identifier to prevent duplicate plugin loading and conflicts. This, which will be called a plugin ID from here on, must follow a specific format. This format categorizes a plugin and makes duplicate IDs unlikely. @section Format The basic format of a plugin ID is as follows: <tt><i>type</i>-<i>username</i>-<i>pluginname</i></tt> The @em type indicator specifies the type of plugin. This must be one of the following: - core - Core plugin, capable of being loaded in any program using libgaim. It must not use any UI-specific code. - prpl - Protocol plugin, providing additional protocols to connect to. - lopl - Loader plugin, which loads scripts as plugins (like Perl or TCL). - gtk - GTK+ 2.x plugin. It may use GTK+ code, but cannot use any window toolkit code (such as X11 or Win32). - gtk-x11 - GTK+ 2.x plugin using X11 code. - gtk-win32 - GTK+ 2.x plugin using Win32 code. - qpe - Gaim for Qtopia plugin. The @em username must be a unique identifier for that person. It @em should be your Gaim website user ID (registered <a href="http://gaim.sourceforge.net/register.php">here</a>). If for some reason you cannot register there (it shouldn't be a problem!), you can use your SourceForge ID. Do @em not leave this field blank. The @em pluginname is the name of your plugin. It can be whatever you like, though it's common to keep it all lowercase. Do not use spaces! If you want a space, use a '-'. Please do not put a version indicator in the ID. The GaimPlugin structure already has a field for this. @section plugin-db Plugin Database Although it doesn't exist yet, in time there will be a plugin database on the Gaim website, where users can download and install new plugins. Plugins will be accessed by your plugin ID, which is one reason why it must be unique. */ // vim: syntax=c tw=75 et
