This should fix the statusbox issues that were keeping us from releasing beta
4 (and which were just really annoying). Thakn sadrul for most of this, I just
added the if (index == -1) bit. Anyway, the way this works now is that for
saved/popular statuses the primitive underlying that status is where the
dropdown for the statusbox starts. If we don't like that we can change it but
I'm not sure we'll find something better.
Also, this might plug a couple leaks, I'm not really sure but it certainly
looks right.
Up next, the patch to make the docklet use the per-protocol statuses in the
top section.

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.
