Tools->Room List will now be grayed out when you're not signed on
with an account that supports listing rooms.
This involved 2 big changes:
-Change when the sign_on_off_cb function in gtkblist gets called...
it used to get called when the signing-on and signing-off signal
was emitted, but I changed it to signed-on and signed-off. This
makes more sense to me, and it makes my code work :-) Let me know
if you notice any side-effects
-Add functions to the roomlist API for determining if any online
accounts support chatting or not. This involved extracting a
function from gtkroomlist.c and putting it in roomlist.c, and
adding a little helper TRUE/FALSE function

/** @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
