 === GPlugin ===
 
 [https://www.guifications.org/ GPlugin] was added as a Pidgin dependency in May 2015. It's meant to allow plugins to be written in any programming language through the use of [https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GObjectIntrospection GObject introspection]. There were build problems in 0.18 involving Mozilla's gjs library (apparently only C++ headers were available while C headers were needed), but that's been removed as a dependency for now.

 * Another GSoC student, who was using GTK+2, reported weird GUI errors like missing input boxes that were unreported in the debug log. GTK+3 is your best bet - `sudo apt-get install gtk+3` should get you at least most of the way there.
 * Run Pidgin from a terminal window (just type `pidgin -d`, or the full pathname) so that you can see loader warnings and other such non-fatal console reports.

-Your changes are likely to be inapplicable or non-translatable, meaning that they'd have to be completely rewritten to be added to 3.0. The fundamental library internals are quite different, and almost everything wasn't overhauled is renamed and shuffled into a different file. I learned this the hard way.
 
 Additionally, I'm finding 3.0 much more pleasant to work with.
