ports/129350: purple-remote can't communicate with Pidgin

[marcus at FreeBSD.org]

Synopsis: purple-remote can't communicate with Pidgin

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: marcus
State-Changed-When: Mon Dec 1 21:33:49 UTC 2008
State-Changed-Why: 
You need to run Pidgin and your purple-remote command inside the same D-Bus
session.  It's easiest to do this by starting your X session with
dbus-launch, but you could also do:

dbus-launch xterm

Then, from that xterm:

pidgin&

Then, from that same xterm:

purple-remote "setstatus?status=away&message=test"
