Hi,

We discussed this on IRC, and here's a mail to try to summarize the
change in the default configuration of pidgin people might want. Please
comment since I'm not a pidgin user, so I can't really know what's good
or not.

+ always visible in the notification area
+ never open new windows unexpectedly
+ no sound by default
+ enable log (for im & chat?)

Maybe preconfigured Zeroconf IM. For small companies it can be a nice
solution.

Are there some other changes we want?

Also, from a packaging point of view: looking at the code, it seems we
can have initial values at /etc/purple/prefs.xml. This file will be read
when the user has no preferences (so only the first time pidgin is run,
I guess). That's not as powerful as gconf, but I don't think we want to
patch pidgin to use gconf. So we'll ship such a file in
pidgin-branding-openSUSE. But I guess this means we need an empty
pidgin-branding-upstream?

Quick & dirty package:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=pidgin-branding-openSUSE&project=home%3Avuntz%3Afactory-playground

Actually, it's not dirty ;-) Just need an opinion about what to do for
pidgin-branding-upstream. Stanislav?

Nothing. We could just make branding package optional, not adding
Requires to pidgin package, only Supplements packageand(...) to the
branding package.
