 > You guys would better start from checking-in the original patch:
 custom_icons.3.patch
 > I've submitted it 4!!! months ago and to me it seems to be completely
 straight forward.  I can't understand why you don't encourage people to
 write patches, improve pidgin etc, but do the opposite...

 I'm sorry you feel that anyone is "doing the opposite".  Please do not
 confuse lack of time for active discouragement.  The only reason this has
 not been dealt with before now is that the appropriate people did not have
 the time to do so.  There is no conspiracy theory here to keep your patch
 from proceeding.  :-)

 This patch (from minstrel) introduces some strings which should be
 translated, and unfortunately we are currently in string freeze; it looks
 like it can go in as soon as 2.4.2 is released with minimal changes.  (The
 spurious introduction of curpos, some unnecessary whitespace changes,
 correct the typo of "Engineering", fix some occurrences of //, reconcile
 some consts.)

 The patch from NightFox has some more serious issues and will require
 further review.

 In the future, if a patch which is complete and largely appropriate for
 inclusion is languishing in the tracker, feel free to come make some noise
 in #pidgin or devel at conference.pidgin.im.  Once a patch has been claimed
 by a developer on the tracker, it often gets little attention from other
 developers (as do unclaimed patches which are in an area "belonging" to a
 particular developer); in consequence, if that developer gets busy or is
 unavailable for some reason, it can take a while to get it merged.  A
 friendly poke is all it might take to get it moving again, there's no need
 to feel like you're being ignored!
