A few trivial patches changing little nitpicky things that bugged me. Maybe they bugged someone else, too, so here they are.
I've got a small patch for the IM client gaim that adds a checkbox to prevent aliases (the display names optionally assigned to buddies) from being used in the log files. The patch has been tested on gaim 0.82.1 and the CVS version from 2004-09-15. (Note: it applies cleanly against at least version 1.4.0.) It patches conversation.c and gtkprefs.c.
Click here to download the patch.
To apply it, cd to your gaim source directory (not gaim/src, just gaim/), and type:
patch -p0 < gaim-0.82-ignore_alias.patch
then compile as per the gaim README.
To start ignoring aliases in the logs, to to Preferences → Logging, and click "Ignore aliases"
This should really, really be a plugin, but I haven't looked into that yet.
For anyone who uses the !exec plugin for gaim, I've also got a tiny patch that removes the header before command output (i.e., "ls: ..." and trims any newlines following output.

To apply, cd to the bangexec dir (or, if bangexec.c is already in gaim's plugin source dir, cd to that):
patch -p1 < bangexec-no_headers_or_newline.patch
then install bangexec as per the instructions.
Unlike the CPU monitors I'm used to, the CPU monitor for the Allin1 dock applet goes left-to-right. I prefer right-to-left, so I wrote a quick patch to add a config option "graph_dir" to change the direction.

Apply with: patch -p0 < allin1-0.5.0-right-to-left.patch
Add "graph_dir = 1" to ~/.allin1.conf to make
the graph go right-to-left.
