Bug#310908: gaim-otr: OTR button vanishes
Package: gaim-otr Version: 2.0.1-1 Severity: normal The OTR button on the conversation button bar vanishes if 'Show button as:' Preferences Conversations option is changed. It will only be visible when the button bar is shown when the conversation is started and changing the show buttons as option will cause it to go away. A related request is to show the OTR button in the Conversation menu. I run with show buttons as: None and this is the first plugin I've found that did not have the functionality available elsewhere. The buttons are rarely used by me and I don't see any reason to take up desktop space with them. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux SpacedOut 2.4.26 #12 Sat Jun 19 13:45:55 CDT 2004 i586 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages gaim-otr depends on: ii gaim1:1.3.0-1multi-protocol instant messaging c ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcrypt11 1.2.0-11 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libotr1 2.0.2-1 Off-the-Record Messaging library -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Thanks for the report; this is now fixed, and will be in the next (upstream) version. > A related request is to show the OTR button in the Conversation menu. > I run with show buttons as: None and this is the first plugin I've > found that did not have the functionality available elsewhere.

That's a great idea, but I don't see an obvious way to do it. There's also the issue that some of your tabs may have OTR enabled, and some not, but I guess the menu could reconfigure itself when you switch tabs.

I've got exactly the same situation -- isn't it an idea to add a 'lock' pictogram/icon to the tab in question, when having tabs? Like, next to the light bulb (jabber), or similar for other protocols? Otherwise, maybe it's a better idea to just add a letter/icon to each line that's being said if it's encrypted, so that, especially around engaging OTR (which can be a bit tricky in the beginning) to see what exactly is encrypted.
