Alright, thanks for the speedy reply.

On a semi-related note, it would be really useful if a comprehensive 
list of DBus-callable Pidgin methods was assembled and posted/linked in 
the DBus howto, instead of an assortment of useful ones. According to 
the wiki, the only resource for an exhaustive list is sifting through 
the header files.

Also, since I've been using Pidgin for a large number of years now, and 
it's served me well, I'd just like to thank all the developers for their 
efforts. :)
