On GTK+ 2.14 and higher, we're using the gtk-tooltip-delay setting instead of our own (hidden) tooltip_delay pref. If you had previously changed that pref, add a line like this to ~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0 (where 500 is the timeout (in ms) you want):

gtk-tooltip-timeout = 500

To completely disable tooltips (e.g. if you had an old tooltip_delay of zero), add this to ~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0:

gtk-enable-tooltips = 0

Fixed the Send Button plugin to avoid duplicate buttons in a single conversation.
Double-clicking a saved status will now activate it and close the saved status manager, rather than edit the status.
