[gaim-migrate @ 11141] Two things: a. Added Enter as a gtk_binding to GtkIMHtml. This fixes everything. Input methods now work. The "Enter sends" and "Ctrl-Enter sends" preferences were removed and defaulted to yes and no respectively, BUT, in a very super-cool turn of events, you can now add your own bindings to .gtkrc to make WHATEVER YOU WANT send. Awesome. Someone should use g_signal_accumulator_true_handled or something to make profiles and away messages able to insert newlines. b. Removed "Use multi-colored screennames in chats," defaulted to yes, and wrote a nifty algorithm to automatically adjust the colors to accomodate the background (see http://gaim.sf.net/sean/porn-chat.png). People should play around and tweak it a bit. The algorithm takes into consideration the luminosity of the current background and the base hue to use for the screenname in generating the new colors. Note that it does this while maintaining the hues. Someone should optimize this so it skips over the floating point arithmatic when the background color is white. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

/** @page plugin-ids Plugin IDs

 @section Introduction
  Every plugin contains a unique identifier to prevent duplicate plugin
  loading and conflicts. This, which will be called a plugin ID from here
  on, must follow a specific format. This format categorizes a plugin and
  makes duplicate IDs unlikely.


 @section Format
  The basic format of a plugin ID is as follows:

  <tt><i>type</i>-<i>username</i>-<i>pluginname</i></tt>

  The @em type indicator specifies the type of plugin. This must be one
  of the following:

    - core      - Core plugin, capable of being loaded in any program using
                  libgaim. It must not use any UI-specific code.
    - prpl      - Protocol plugin, providing additional protocols to
                  connect to.
    - lopl      - Loader plugin, which loads scripts as plugins (like Perl
                  or TCL).
    - gtk       - GTK+ 2.x plugin. It may use GTK+ code, but cannot use any
                  window toolkit code (such as X11 or Win32).
    - gtk-x11   - GTK+ 2.x plugin using X11 code.
    - gtk-win32 - GTK+ 2.x plugin using Win32 code.
    - qpe       - Gaim for Qtopia plugin.

  The @em username must be a unique identifier for that person. It
  @em should be your Gaim website user ID
  (registered <a href="http://gaim.sourceforge.net/register.php">here</a>).
  If for some reason you cannot register there (it shouldn't be a
  problem!), you can use your SourceForge ID. Do @em not leave this field
  blank.

  The @em pluginname is the name of your plugin. It can be whatever you like,
  though it's common to keep it all lowercase. Do not use spaces! If you
  want a space, use a '-'. Please do not put a version indicator in the ID.
  The GaimPlugin structure already has a field for this.


 @section plugin-db Plugin Database
  Although it doesn't exist yet, in time there will be a plugin database
  on the Gaim website, where users can download and install new plugins.
  Plugins will be accessed by your plugin ID, which is one reason why it
  must be unique.
