[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 1040259] Re: FFE: libmessaging-menu transitions for quantal

[Jason Conti]

If it helps, I have partial pidgin support working (I'll attach a
debdiff). It implements status changing and indicators for IM messages
with buddies.

Ran into two bugs so far which kind of blocked my progress a bit:

Can't unload/reload plugin without a crash: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-messages/+bug/1065169
Can't use GdkPixbuf for icons even though they implement GIcon: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686201

The GdkPixbuf serialization code could probably be implemented in
indicator-messages if upstream doesn't want it.

Doesn't have:
- Chat Support (should be similar to IM support but I've never used chats in pidgin)
- Buddy Icons because of the bug above
- Indicators for conversations that don't have buddies associated (not really sure how that works)
- Occasionally loses the first message (maybe related to the last item?)

Also a fair bit of debugging code which should probably be removed once
the messaging-menu support is complete.

Bug description:
  indicator-messages got updated, introducing a new libmessaging-menu
  api (deprecating the old libindicate library) which should make
  application developper's life easier.

  The indicator work is done and the library is ready and we started
  porting applications

  The current stack is being tested in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-
  desktop/+archive/ppa/

  It includes
  - indicator-messages
  - gwibber
  - indicator-telepathy
  - thunderbird (soon, work is being finished)

  which is what we consider the minimal set for landing the feature

  for quantal we will add those soon:
  - pidgin
  - xchat-indicator
  - evolution-indicator
