[gaim-migrate @ 17070]
Disabled GTK+ components of the Perl plugin (we'll no longer support gtk-perl prefs frames until this is refactored into a gtkgaim plugin somehow).
Fix gaim_util_fetch_url and plug some leaks.
I haven't successfully tested gaim_util_fetch_url from perl yet - it doesn't seem to actually pass the retrieved text to the plugin sub correctly yet.
The syntax for calling gaim_util_fetch_url() from perl is also funky and should be made more consistent to the C function.

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.
