Comment (by sadrul):

 Replying to [comment:7 nix_nix]:
 > Again, assuming that plugins do not expect to directly manipulate the
 GtkMenu, we could add an API like pidgin_account_option_menu_get_selected
 called pidgin_protocol_option_menu_get_selected to get rid of the need for
 "protocol" and the GtkWidget *item ... argument altogether.

 Yes, and that would require changes in the plugin code, which still bumps
 the major version.

 "looks 1e6 times better" is not necessarily a good enough reason to break
 plugins, or introduce ugly hacks.
