Re: Gaim 2.0!
 

*sigh* ... I don't own a 770, but I'll try to set up an environment and compile it for 770. Then, I'll set up a distribution for 770. I'll likely need your help testing it, since I couldn't run it anywhere.

Re: Gaim 2.0!
 

I used it a little today:
- full screen is great :) on the buddy list also :)
- no crashes yet :)
- built-in OSSO browser setting worked fine :)

Other issues/questions:
- I think the X on the Buddy list should close the app. What is your reason to stop that? Maybe make it an option?
- When I resize the text entry area, the new size is not saved. Right now I always make the vertical height less so that it is the same size as the buddies avatar. this also allows more space for the message log
- when opening Preferences window, the "left" arrow on the tabs is enabled. It should not be I think. Also pressing the "right" arrow on the tabs bar just disables the left arrow and does not go to the next right tab. (I know, I'm getting picky now!)
- from the buddy window, I selected "New" from the status window. I can't see the buttons when the accounts list is expanded.

I keep on getting "unable to install" ???

Dude,

If no one has told, you I will. YOU FRIGGIN ROCK. Nice piece of work. This is nice. It seems to just run smoother than the 1.5 version. Please keep up the work. :)

Re: Gaim 2.0!
 

using custom status messages works for Yahoo but does not seem to be recognized for MSN.

not sure if this is a bug. but at least the status should be picked up I think?

Re: Gaim 2.0!
 

... another idea I "stole" from maemo-gaim. I don't want it to close the app because, sometimes when you close the conversation window, you accidentally tap the top-right corner twice, and, since I personally don't save my passwords, I hate having to type them in afterwards.

IIRC, Gaim doesn't save this even on the desktop. However, I was thinking about setting the splitter such that it gives only as much room to the lower half as absolutely necessary. So, the behaviour would be like this: Whenever the size of the window changes (that is, when it appears, when it goes from fullscreen to unfullscreen or vice versa, and maybe other occasions), set the splitter so the lower half has just enough room, and make sure the upper half is scrolled to the end.

How does that sound ?

OK, when I run out of bigger fish to fry ...

OK, I don't understand this. The "New Status" window shows up as a separate window. It is unencumbered by the buddy list. Same goes for "Saved Statuses". Nonetheless, it could use scrollbars, because it becomes compressed when the on-screen keyboard shows up.

Re: Gaim 2.0!
 

Did you have maemo-gaim in there ? If so, it looks like you must remove all packages whose name starts with maemo-gaim. If not, you can install osso-xterm (make sure the version has the letters "mh" in it) and a package called "becomeroot". Then, in the terminal, you can type

sudo gainroot
apt-get install gaim

This is the same thing as clicking "Install" in the Application Manager. Unlike AM, however, you should get a more useful error message about how and why it's failing to install.

Wow thanks! It worked like a charm! Now all my icons are updated!

Re: Gaim 2.0!
 

OK - sounds like a good idea

good

I know :)
There is a list of protocols that you want to apply the new status to. When that list is expanded then the buttons are covered up. (I think I said user list? I meant protocol list)

I am on vacation for 5 days. Will check back in next weekend :)

Found it! Thanks!
