twitgin links do not work under 2.6.1

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  enable twitgen plugin
2.  await receipt of a "tweeted" message
3. attempt to reply, retweet, or mark as favorite

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected response is to see the appropriate text in the 'sending' portion
of the chatbox.

Instead, no output is seen. only the timeline link or username links which
call the outboard browser works.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
pidgin 2.6.1,  mb-purple svn312

Please provide any additional information below.
No errors or other messages appear while running under debug.

Hovering over the various links shows that they are properly generated. They 
are just
not inserted correctly into the text stream

Ok, I found the cause. Pidgin 2.6 change the way to handle url. Now we must call
gtk_imhtml_class_register_protocol to handle our protocol.

Code will need to be changed that will make it not compatible with 2.5.x.

Hrm.. it seems like you could use purple_version_check to decide which method 
to use,
in which case you'd remain backwards compatible...

Yep i plan to do just that. #if + PURPLE_VERSION_CHECK or something similar.

It will take sometime though. It's not just a simple bug.

Ok, latest SVN (r316) temporary fix this issue. The more proper fix might be 
appear
in next major release instead.

Apparently it was my weird layout -- i'd done an overlay install of 2.5.8 onto a
previously installed 2.6.1, but some things didn't get cleaned out, so it looks 
like
it was trying to link mixed versions.

Full purge/re-install gives a clean build with 2.6.1 and svn216.   All twitgin 
links
are working.
