DCE::Status is a Perl interface of DCE status codes.

SYNOPSIS

use DCE::Status;

$errstr = error_inq_text($status);

tie $status => DCE::Status;

When a $scalar is tied to the DCE::Status class, it has a different value depending on the context it is evaluated in, similar to the magic $! variable. When evaluated in a numeric context, the numeric value is returns, otherwise, the string value obtained from dce_error_inq_text is returned.

Pidgin, previously known as Gaim, is a multi-protocol instant messaging client for Linux, BSD, MacOS X, and Windows. Pidgin messenger is compatible with AIM and ICQ (Oscar protocol), MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, IRC, Jabber, SILC, Gadu-Gadu, GroupWise Messenger, and Zephyr networks.
Pidgin users can log in to multiple accounts on multiple IM networks simultaneously. This means that you can be chatting with friends on AOL Instant Messenger, talking to a friend on Yahoo Messenger, and sitting in an IRC channel all at the same time.
Pidgin supports many features of the various networks, such as file transfer, away messages, typing notification, and MSN window closing notification. It also goes beyond that and provides many unique features.
A few popular features are Buddy Pounces, which give the ability to notify you, send a message, play a sound, or run a program when a specific buddy goes away, signs online, or returns from idle; and plugins, consisting of text replacement, a buddy ticker, extended message notification, iconify on away, spell checking, tabbed conversations, and more.
Pidgin runs on a number of platforms, including Windows, Linux, and Qtopia (Sharp Zaurus and iPaq).
Pidgin integrates well with GNOME 2 and KDE 3.1s system tray, as well as Windowss own system tray. This allows you to work with Pidgin without requiring the buddy list window to be up at all times.
Pidgin is under constant development, and releases are usually frequent. The latest news regarding Pidgin can be found on the news page.
Enhancements:
- libpurple:
- Core changes to allow UIs to use second-granularity for scheduling. Pidgin and Finch, which use the glib event loop, were changed to use g_timeout_add_seconds() on glib >= 2.14 when possible. This allows glib to better group our longer timers to increase power efficiency. (Arjan van de Ven with Intel Corporation)
- No longer linkifies screennames containing @ signs in join/part notifications in chats
- With the HTML logger, images in conversations are now saved. NOTE: Saved images are not yet displayed when loading logs.
- Added support for QIP logs to the Log Reader plugin (Michael Shkutkov)
Pidgin:
- Ensure only one copy of Pidgin is running with a given configuration directory. The net effect of this is that trying to start Pidgin a second time will raise the buddy list. (Gabriel Schulhof)
- Undo capability in the conversation window
- The formatting toolbar has been reorganized to be more concise.
- A new status area has been added to the top of conversations to provide additional detail about the buddy, including buddy icon, protocol and status message.
- Show idle times in the buddy list as days, hours, seconds
Finch:
- Theres support for workspaces now (details in the manpage)
- Theres a new custom window manager, Irssi
- Some improvements for tab-completion, tooltip and the password entries
- Some bugs regarding search results fixed
- A new DBus-script to create a docklet for finch
- Support for showing empty groups in the buddy list (Eric Polino)

Call this script from the Autostart folder, and it will update Kopetes away message for each interval (requires Kopete 0.12 or higher). The away messages are by default defined in ~/.kopete-away-msgs. Each line can contain either:
- a comment (starting with a #)
- flags message
The flags define some properties to each away message. Flags are defined only at the start of the line, beginning and ending with a %. The following flags are supported.
[0-9]*[smhd] Determines how long this message should be shown before a new one is chosen. This is the sleep(1) syntax.
a Only show this message when youre away.
c This line is a command, use its output as away message.
i Show the contents of a file, line by line. The message should contain the path to the file. Do not use ~ but use /home/$USER instead. Empty lines in the included file are skipped.
n Use the next message in the file for the next iteration.
o Only show this message when youre online.
x Dont use this message when looking for a random message. This means this line is only accessible when the former line contains the n flag.
- Show the message less than normal times
-- Show the message even more less
--- Show the message sometimes
To determine your online status, you need to have the Web Presence plugin enabled. By default, it reads the file ~/.webstatus.xml. Adapt the variable below if you store the file somewhere else. The script wont do anything when youre offline or partially away (that is, some protocols are Away, some protocols are Online).
Because the web status plugin is used, the process of retrieving the current webstatus is not really reliable. It may happen that you turn back to online when you set the status on Away in a short time. If this doesnt happen in about 10 seconds after the status change, you may consider the status change as successful.
Example ~/.kopete-away-msgs file:
========================================================================
# Sometimes, show uptime for one minute
%1mc--% uptime
# Fortune rocks, but dont pick too long messages (the length of away
# messages is limited.
%2mc% fortune -s -n 120
# just show Hello world for the default interval
Hello world
# Show a away message for 60 seconds.
%a60% Im away now.
# Ask people to say something when youre online
%o% Please message me!
# Show all contents of the Linux README line by line. Show each line for
# 3 seconds.
%3i% /usr/src/linux/README
# Tell a little story when Im away. These lines must emerge in the
# right order, so mind the n and x flags! The x flags make sure we dont
# start in the middle of the story. And, show each line for about 5
# seconds.
%na5% Goodbye, all you people,
%nax5% Theres nothing you can say
%nax5% To make me change my mind.
%ax5% Goodbye.
==================================================================
Enhancements:
- Ability to query the online/away status directly from Kopete (DCOP). This requires a patched Kopete, see the description for more details on how to proceed.
- Fortune mode: Pick a random line from a given text file.
- First check the online/away status to prevent unnecessary command calls.
- Various bugfixes

xmms-status-plugin is a general plugin for the xmms mp3 player. It provides a docklet for the GNOME Status applet and the KDE panel.
Under GNOME 2.0 XMMS Status Plugin uses the freedesktop.org Notification Area specification. To use this you must add the Notification Area applet to your panel.
Under GNOME 1.2 XMMS Status Plugin uses the GNOME status dock. To use XMMS Status Plugin you need to add the status dock from the panel right click menu.
The KDE equivalent of the docklet panel applet is apparently on the KDE panel by default and the xmms-status-plugin has been reported to work under KDE.
Enhancements:
- src/eggtrayicon.c: Add some debugging stuff.
- src/gtkplugxembed.c: Remove loads of old g_print statements. Use gdk_window_(un)ref not gtk_object_(un)ref in several places.
- src/xmms-status-plugin.c: Be more careful with the timeout function to ensure it doesnt continue runnign when we exit, and the callback takes care of error conditions more gracefully.
