[Bug 970885] Re: Empathy 3.4 and pidgin-skype

[Vincenzo Mantova]

I traced down the problem to one single call to the function
"g_thread_init()" inside the package "pidgin-skype". As of the official
glib documentation [1], the function is not needed anymore and it is
deprecated from version 2.32 on, and apparently is disabled when
telepathy-haze and empathy try to load the plugin.

I'm attaching a patch that comments out the call to g_thread_init. As
far as I have tested it seems to work fine.

APIs.html#g-thread-init

** Patch added: "Remove call to g_thread_init"
