Format the time as "localtimeformat [+-]HHMM". Iterative development is fun. This shows up, for me, as "Local Time: 10:50:15 PM -0800". Marcus, I figure this bypasses the need to localize 'GMT'. Are there any locales where either the tz offset is always printed (my reading is that this would show up in the conversation window, so I doubt it) or where a tz offset is printed before the time?

This program calls purple API functions using DBus.  As opposed to purple-send, 
it does not print the return value.

Usage:

   $0 method-name type1:parameter1 type2:parameter2 ...

This shell script just invokes dbus-send, see man dbus-send for how 
to specify the parameters.  

Examples:

   $0 PurpleCoreQuit

Use dbus-viewer to get the list of supported functions and their parameters.
