[gaim-migrate @ 14198] sf patch #1342817, from Evan Schoenberg "As discussed in #gaim, this patch removes idle.c and replaces it with gtkidle.c and gtkidle.h. The attached diff removes the idle management from its various hiding places in connection.c, server.c, and gaim.h. The plugins Changelog.API is appropriately updated. The new gtkidle files are attached; idle.c should be removed from CVS." committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
