User Info and Tooltips now use the GaimNotifyUserInfo object and methods defined in notify.h. GaimNotifyUserInfo objects encapsulate a list of GaimNotifyUserInfoEntry objects, each of which may have a label, a value, and be specified to be a section header.
This moves the burden of UI generation of user information from the various prpls to the UI. The UI can choose how to display the information rather than being fenced into a particular HTML formatting. Consistency across the prpls' information presentation is now enforced, as well. gaim_notify_user_info_get_text_with_newline() generates text in the:
<b>label</b>: value
<b>label</b>: value
format as was passed by convention from prpls in the past.

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.
