Another gaim first, ladies and gentlemen!
I've been reading some books and sites on interface design and realized
something. The natural order for humans (or at least Western people?) is
a top-down approach. Menus drop down. Webpages go from top to bottom.
You tend to scroll down rather than up. Everything goes from the top to the
bottom. Apple realizes this, and that's why the menubar has always been
at the top. Microsoft never really grasped this, and we all know how
clunky the Start button feels.
So this commit puts the input box on IMs (I'll get to chats after school)
above the gtkimhtml widget. This feels much more natural, as what you type
then jumps down to the input widget. Though it may look odd at first,
you'll all realize just how comfortable gaim is now in comparison to any
other IM client.
