[Ryan Paul <segphault@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The template-theme-engine branch fixes the problem with the program
hanging while messages are being received. To make it not hang when
messages are being sent, we need to make sending threaded.

If you want to tackle it, you could look at how threading is implemented
in the update method of client.py and add similar behavior to the
on_input_activate method.

The best way to get your changes into Gwibber is to make a branch on
Launchpad and propose merging it when you are ready to have your code
added to trunk. The links that Greg provided are a good place to start.

Thanks for helping! :-)
