I really like this.
Some changes to the Buddy List:
- Everything is one column now. So things like the group name ellipsizing for
buddy icons that aren't there won't happen anymore.
- Expander Icon set to an invisible column: the correct way to get rid of the
unsightly large blist expander margins
- Group nodes have a background color to more easily tell them apart, now that
the margins are gone. This could be extended to buddies. I'm thinking of
making a notify mode that colors buddies in the list when you have a message
from them. I'm doing this on expanded contacts, but I don't think I like it.
- Expanders are now temporarily pixbufs; this will change to something better later

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.
