Thank you both for looking at it.  I've grabbed the above diff and 
replaced my patch.  Still seems to work fine (gtk2 build), so I'll repost 
down-stream to the tracker.


Can I get an opinion on package-splitting?
Currently, I have a full build of pidgin split into the following:

finch		-- just bin/finch
finch-dev	-- devel. headers include/finch/ and include/gnt/
 			(+.pc, .la)
finch-shlibs	-- libgnt, lib/finch/, ...
pidgin		-- pidgin and other bin/ programs
pidgin-dev	-- devel. headers for include/{pidgin,libpurple}, .la, .pc
pidgin-shlibs	-- libraries and plugins for libpurple and pidgin-2

However, if developers are anticipated build off of libpurple, then they 
don't need the libraries that are specific to pidgin-client, correct?
If so, then I'm considering further splitting:

pidgin-dev -> pidgin-dev, libpurple (devel. files)
pidgin-shlibs -> pidgin-shlibs, libpurple-shlibs
 	(pidgin-shlibs will depend on libpurple-shlibs, of course)

and only pidgin-shlibs will depend on UI-specific shared libraries.

Thanks in advance.
