SF Patch #1379107 from evands
'Properly notify the UI when a buddy icon changes
gaim_buddy_set_icon() currently does nothing if the incoming
GaimBuddyIcon* is the same as buddy->icon.
This is wrong, however, because gaim_buddy_icon_new() will recycle an
existing GaimBuddyIcon* object for the buddy, replacing its data with the
new buddy icon data, if possible. The recycling means that just because
(icon == buddy->icon) we can't assume nothing has changed.
This patch makes the "buddy-icon-changed" signal be sent and the
gaim_blist_update_buddy_icon() function be called appropriately when the
buddy icon changes.
Call stack that gets us here from prpl code, for those keeping score at
home:
gaim_buddy_icons_set_for_user() -> gaim_buddy_icon_new() ->
gaim_buddy_icon_set_data() -> gaim_buddy_icon_update() ->
gaim_buddy_set_icon()'

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.
