PidginBlistTheme now copies all its parameters instead of taking ownership. This was needed so that we can ensure the GdkColor*s we're freeing were allocated using gdk_color_copy() so gdk_color_free() will work (it uses the slice allocator). FontColorPair's parameters are const /mostly/ to silence warnings in the loader since we're using the strings directly from the xmlnodes. However, it seems right that anyone wanting to muck with them should use the PidginBlistTheme API

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the HOWTOs in the
"Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
