Jason LeBrun wrote to gaim-devel:
"I have found a small quirk in the way gdk_pixbuf_loader works. When you
are using it without signalling, the proper way to use it is to call
gdk_pixbuf_loader_close *before* calling gdk_pixbuf_loader_get_animation
or gdk_pixbuf_loader_get_pixbuf. The call to gdk_pixbuf_loader_close
signals that no more writes will be occuring.
In particular, this affects images that are less than 1k in size. If
gdk_pixbuf_loader_close is not called before _get_animation, the loader
will not return anything unless it has received more than 1k of data
(the file type sniffing buffer size) or it has been closed.
So, the proper order of calls for loaders in the gtk*.c code is:
gdk_pixbuf_loader_new();
gdk_pixbuf_loader_write();
gdk_pixbuf_loader_close();
gdk_pixbuf_loader_get_animation();"
I know we fixed a bug by changing this in one place. I've gone through and updated the rest.

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.
