[gaim-migrate @ 14279] Switch to using the unicode character 0x25cf instead of an asterisk as our password masking character. In the words of the great Christian Hammond, "By the way, isn't it about time we replace the asterisk in masked entries with that unicode character for the round filled circle ("?")? The asterisk is so 1980s." committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

This program calls gaim API functions using DBus and prints the return value.
If you are not interested in the return value, use gaim-send-async.

Usage:

   $0 method-name type1:parameter1 type2:parameter2 ...

This shell script just invokes dbus-send, see man dbus-send for how 
to specify the parameters.  

Examples:

   $0 GaimAccountsFindConnected string: string:prpl-jabber
   $0 GaimAccountsGetAll
   $0 GaimCoreQuit

Use dbus-viewer to get the list of supported functions and their parameters.
