[gaim-migrate @ 16943] Get rid of this thread stuff. You can read the whole saga at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201791 Basically we were working around some complicated library interactions between d-bus and newer, threaded versions of gnome-vfs. But the d-bus guys were awesome enough to make our working around unnecessary I'm seeing the following error printed to the console when I click on on the Send To menu in conversation windows, but I get this error with or without these threading changes. I'm not sure what's up with that. I should point out that our dnsquery.c stuff is calling g_thread_init() for both Unix and Windows now (it didn't used to do that on Unix) The error is: GLib-GObject: gsignal.c:1713: handler `982' of instance `0xc6d960' is not blocked committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

/** @page plugin-ids Plugin IDs

 @section Introduction
  Every plugin contains a unique identifier to prevent duplicate plugin
  loading and conflicts. This, which will be called a plugin ID from here
  on, must follow a specific format. This format categorizes a plugin and
  makes duplicate IDs unlikely.


 @section Format
  The basic format of a plugin ID is as follows:

  <tt><i>type</i>-<i>username</i>-<i>pluginname</i></tt>

  The @em type indicator specifies the type of plugin. This must be one
  of the following:

    - core      - Core plugin, capable of being loaded in any program using
                  libgaim. It must not use any UI-specific code.
    - prpl      - Protocol plugin, providing additional protocols to
                  connect to.
    - lopl      - Loader plugin, which loads scripts as plugins (like Perl
                  or TCL).
    - gtk       - GTK+ 2.x plugin. It may use GTK+ code, but cannot use any
                  window toolkit code (such as X11 or Win32).
    - gtk-x11   - GTK+ 2.x plugin using X11 code.
    - gtk-win32 - GTK+ 2.x plugin using Win32 code.
    - qpe       - Gaim for Qtopia plugin.

  The @em username must be a unique identifier for that person. It
  @em should be your SourceForge ID. Do @em not leave this field
  blank.

  The @em pluginname is the name of your plugin. It can be whatever you like,
  though it's common to keep it all lowercase. Do not use spaces! If you
  want a space, use a '-'. Please do not put a version indicator in the ID.
  The GaimPlugin structure already has a field for this.


 @section plugin-db Plugin Database
  Although it doesn't exist yet, in time there will be a plugin database
  on the Gaim website, where users can download and install new plugins.
  Plugins will be accessed by your plugin ID, which is one reason why it
  must be unique.
