Getting Started with Libpurple...

[Jeremy Thibeaux]

OK...so all was good with Yahoo, but none of the other protocols I tested seem to work properly.  I must be missing some step (that doesn't appear to matter for Yahoo).
 
To be clear, I am trying to do the minimum possible to set up an account connection and send a message to another user.
 
What I have figured the steps to be:
Initialize purple (basically copied from the null client)
Register account (if it is not already registered)
Set the account password
Enable the account
Set account status to available
Wait for "signed-on" signal
Add destination ID as a buddy (not sure if this is necessary, actually)
Create a new conversation
Send the im
This seems to work fine for Yahoo, but MSN, AIM and XMPP do not seem to work.  Am I missing a step here?  Is it surprising that Yahoo should work and the others do not?

Nothing happens (outside of a console print of the message).  I am using the Yahoo protocol.

If you followed
http://d.pidgin.im/wiki/Development%20FAQ#HowcanIsendamessageinaconversation,
then I am not sure why this isn't working. Perhaps you can enable debug
and see if that tells you something relevant.
