=============
 - Cleanup licences and copyrights, Modules with 100% collabora code are now
   relicenced to LGPL.
 - Hide main window with ALT-F4.
 - Set chat state to ACTIVE when receiving a message from a contact, avoid
   staying in COMPOSING state forever for protocols like MSN that do not notify
   when contact stoped writing.
 - Don't use deprecated Gtk/GLib API. Mainly replace GtkTooltips by new
   tooltip API from GTK 2.12.
 - Use g_timeout_add_seconds when appropriated to avoid weaking the process too
   much.

   menu and action when double-click on a contact.
 - Add 2 properties to EmpathyIdle to activate auto-away and auto-disconnect,

   presence in the same time than Empathy client.

 - Adding a test program, useful to use with valgrind.
