[jdev] Thread IDs - The Reality?

[James Le Cuirot]

Good news! I've successfully managed to get Gaim to use threads. This
includes, creating new threads, dealing with incoming ones and even
typing notification between threads. New threads are simply created
by repeatedly clicking on the same contact. I could tell from your
responses that properly handling clients that don't support threads is
important so I got that figured out too. If a thread ID isn't received
back from the client then all the conversation windows with that client
bar the oldest one are automatically closed - basically forcing the
conversation back into a single thread.

One of the Gaim devs saw my post here and it caught his interest so
that's also good news. I've posted the patch up on SourceForge and
hopefully it'll get looked at in the not-too-distant future.
