YEAH!!!!!!!! it looks like we finally have the new buddy list online tab display for gaim working! only bugs left will be the odd ones that you don't hit right off the bat with a couple minutes of use. its not quite doing priority right, faceprint has started work towards fixing that tonight, and tomorrow i can start looking at the edittree code to let you manipulate the list contents. I'm a month behind unfortunately, which means I won't finish this before i go on vacation next week. I'm looking forward to vacation, but i'm not looking forward to 2.5 weeks of inactivity just as sean gets ready to move towards a very feature rich 0.60 release and gaim's official repository starts changing. Hopefully faceprint will keep on top of things while i'm gone and we won't have to catch back up too much. I'm finding that debuging goes much more easily when i have someone (faceprint) to help me work through things with than when i'm working alone. also learning alot about gtk, which is half of why i started doing this. so i can't complain too much i guess, things aren't going badly, just not as well as i nievely had hoped.
