" Adds an emblem to a buddy if they have a queued message
(hidden conversation). In the large buddy list it is
added in the northwest corner, sliding the existing
northwest emblem (if specified) to the northeast
position and discarding the northeast emblem. In the
small buddy list, the emblem is added to the southeast.
Attached is a patch and an emblem image to be dropped
in pixmaps/status/default/. The emblem image is a
scaled down version of the send-im.png image." -- Casey Harkins
as I asked for this patch, and since there don't seem to be objections to
it (yet), I'm going ahead and applying it.

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.
