Comment (by denisw):

 Replying to [comment:2 charkins]:
 > For consistency, I'd prefer if this were in gtkdocklet with
 implementations for both X11 and win32. The signature could be changed to:
 >
 >    GtkWidget *pidgin_docklet_get_widget(void)
 >
 > The X11 implementation (via a ui_ops call) is pretty obvious. win32
 would just not implement the ui_op for now, and gtkdocklet would just
 return NULL. I see there is a comment in gtkdocklet-win32 about switching
 to GtkStatusIcon when WinPidgin switches to Gtk+ 2.10 (which has
 happened). So it's possible this could be implemented eventually on win32
 as well.

 I didn't know that you were planning to change to GtkStatusIcon; in that
 case having a platform-independent call is better naturally. I like your
 idea, but I'm not a Pidgin developer unfortunately. ;)
