[gaim-migrate @ 16328] Change the internals of GntTree. The change was required to accommodate expand/collapsing of the groups. I have added tooltips for Groups as well, which shows the online/total count. Do we like it? I have also added emblems at the beginning of the names of the buddies to indicate their status. Currently I am using ASCII-emblems ('o' for available, '.' for away, 'x' for offline (but I am not showing any offline buddies yet)), but I plan on using some cool unicode-emblems Sean suggested to me. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
