[gaim-migrate @ 9065] Alright, I had to lay down a little bit of smack. Here goes: -Work around the rate-limit problem caused by Gaim auto-requesting away messages too quickly. Basically there is now a 1.2sec gap between each request. The downside is that it takes a bit longer for Gaim to get everyone's away message initially. Adium shouldn't need to do anything to take advantage of this. Fire (they use libfaim, right?) will need to add a callback for AIM_CB_LOC_REQUESTINFOTIMEOUT. Just search oscar.c for gaim_reqinfo_timeout() and copy what that thing does. -Attempt to do a better job showing away messages in tooltips. Hopefully & and greater than and less than will show up correctly now. I don't think there should be any side effects, but if you mouse over someone and it crashes or you get a pango error let me know. -Remove/combine some silly functions in util.c that few things use. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
