[gaim-migrate @ 9985] Patch by Evan Schoenberg. The disconnected UI op was called twice on connection errors. Now it is only called once. He describes it as follows: "Currently, the UI's disconnected callback is called twice when there is a connection error. First, it is called by gaim_connection_error(). Then, gaim_connection_disconnect_cb is called, leading to a call to gaim_connection_set_state() at which point the gc's state is set to GAIM_DISCONNECTED. Finally, the UI's disconnected callback is called once the state is set to GAIM_DISCONNECTED. The call in gaim_connection_error() is incorrect; there is no need to manually call the UI's disconnected callback. It causes really nasty problems for smart reconnection handling and is wasteful. :)" committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
