 Anywho,

 Replying to [ticket:5302 stewb]:
 > It would be wonderful if the pidgin developers could move away from
 using these deprecated interfaces:
 >
 > g_basename
 Done.
 > g_strcasecmp
 Done.
 > gdk_gc_unref
 Done.
 > gtk_option_menu_new
 On branch.
 > gdk_pixbuf_unref
 Done.
 > gtk_item_factory*
 On branch. Needs a little bit of work though for accounts menu. Doesn't
 look like you've done that yet anyway.
 > gtk_toolbar_insert_space
 On branch.
 > gtk_toolbar_append_element
 On branch.
 > gtk_option_menu_new
 On branch.

 > This is the patch I'm using for the 2.4.0 LSB build. I'm sure it has
 some issues (most notably lack of translations), but it seems to be
 reasonably functional (with the exception of ssl support).

 > http://www.linux-foundation.org/~stewb/pidgin-2.4.0.patch
 >
 > I'd be more than happy to fix any issues with the patch that you might
 identify.
 > An LSB compliant version of Pidgin should be able to be installed and
 run on any LSB compliant distribution, which could be a plus for the
 developers if you offer binary downloads.
 >
 > Thanks for the nice app.
