[gaim-migrate @ 15922]
Way more changes that I initially thought I was going to make. I apologize
for the commit message spam. These changes bring a lot of consistency to
our capitalization and punctuation, especially of words like "e-mail".
For reference, I've used these rules (after discussing in #gaim):
e-mail, a case of two words joined:
"e-mail" - in the middle of a sentence caps context
"E-mail" - start of text in a sentence caps context
"E-Mail" - in a header (title) caps context
re-enable, a single word, would be:
"re-enable", "Re-enable", and "Re-enable" (respectively)
The reason this changeset exploded is that, as I went through and verified
these changes, I realized we were using improper capitalization (e.g. header
instead of sentence) in a number of dialogs. I fixed a number of these
cases before, and this corrects another pile.
This looks like I've made a LOT of work for the translators, but the impact
is significantly mitigated by three factors: 1) Many of these changes use
strings that already exist, or change one string in many places. 2) I've
used sed to correct the .po files where possible. 3) The actual changes
are extremely trivial.

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.
