"And if double-clicking loads a plugin, then double-clicking
again must unload the plugin. However, I think it's better
if double-clicking either opens the preferences or does nothing."
I disagree that double-clicking again must undo what happened from the first time, and in this case, that would totally defeat the goal. Given that this is possibly confusing no matter how we do it, let's take the safest route and not enable the plugin if it's not already. This still accomplishes my main goal of being able to double-click on a plugin I'm using to see its prefs.

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.
