More of sf patch #1490646, from Jonty Wareing & Jono Cole
"The screen name + hostname of the sending user is sent
in the outgoing jabber message, fixing a sporadic
problem with iChat.
The port in use has been fixed to the one described in
the Bonjour specification and can no longer be changed
in the prpl preferences - modifiying this just stops
the client from being able to start a chat.
The option for a buddy icon has been removed for now as
no code actually uses it yet - we plan to change this
in the future.
This update also introduces automatic local port retry
for up to ten attempts if the port is in
use (e.g. if multiple instances of gaim are running)."

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.
