[gaim-migrate @ 16712]
Pretty large commit here. Basically I got sick of having to verify
that gc is still valid on all the callback functions for
gaim_proxy_connect(). The fix for this for gaim_proxy_connect() to
return something that allows the connection attempt to be canceled.
It's not quite there yet, but this is a good first step. I changed
gaim_proxy_connect() to return a reference to a new
GaimProxyConnectInfo (this used to be called PHB). Eventually this
can be passed to a function that'll cancel the connection attempt.
I also decided to add an error_cb instead of using connect_cb and
passing a file descriptor of -1. And proxy.c will also pass an
error message to callers which should explain the reason that the
connection attempt failed.
Oh, and proxy.c now never calls gaim_connection_error()

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.
