msn.tgz from SF Patch #1621854 from Ka-Hing Cheung
"This tarball brings soc-2006-msnp13 up to head. In addition to that it also
fixes a crash with sending offline messages.
I wasn't able to generate a diff against that branch, svn seems to insist
on diff'ing against HEAD after I run the merge command. After running `svn
merge -r 16309:HEAD https://gaim.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gaim/trunk` on
the soc-2006-msnp13 you can replace the msn directory with the attached
tarball. The fix for offline messaging is on msn.c:901:
if (!session->oim)
session->oim = msn_oim_new(session)"

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.
