Etan had changed the account notify stuff so that the prpl decides
if the person is a buddy or not; I totally wiped that out with my
authorization stuff. This brings it back.
Additionally, I added a googletalk flag to JabberStream which
can determine at runtime if you're connected to Google Talk.
All of the Google Talk extensions can be detected individually
with disco, but this might be used for working with perfectly
standard XMPP that's implemented in what might be considered a
quirky way in Google Talk. For instance, Google Talk automatically
adds buddies to your roster when you authorize them to add you.
I was going to use this flag so that the Jabber prpl would
never ask me to add a Google Talk buddy who's just been
automatically added anyway.
I decided to keep it, though, since I may still want to
specify what group he's in.
This opens the door for more Google Talk customization though >:)

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.
