Fixed phantom online buddies. They should now properly disappear when signing out.
Fixed the crashes some users were seeing with cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com in 2.5.7.
Fixed compiling on systems with glib 2.4.x or older.
Fixed an issue with file transfers. This may not resolve all issues, but it should resolve at least some of the most common ones.
