A small part of sf patch #1490646, from Jonty Wareing & Jono Cole
"Fix & Enhance the Bonjour prpl"
"Several instances of "magic strings" have been replaced
with proper XML parsing code in the Bonjour prpl,
allowing it to communicate with other Gaim clients (a
misplaced space in one of the strings prevented this),
and every other Bonjour chat client we can find.
A fair amount of completely redundant code was also
stripped, which in combination with the proper XML
parsing allows the client to be far more flexible about
Jabber errors in other clients."

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.
