xchat-gnome : unchecking "Mark as away" does not work

Ticking away worked like a charm on xchat-gnome, but unticking does not do any magic.

This Turns out to be a bug fixed upstream ( gnome #462031 ). "grepping" the code reveals a rather trivial fix, and on further lookup a part of Fedora9 build. I ended up filing a bug-report ( fedora #430883 ).

A package was released with the stated fix, which crashes xchat-gnome when one tries to set/unset away.

$ xchat-gnome
(xchat-gnome:9519): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type
`(null)' in cast to `GtkToggleButton'
(xchat-gnome:9519): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_toggle_button_get_active: assertion `GTK_IS_TOGGLE_BUTTON (toggle_button)' failed

On lookup, turn out to be issue with variable naming. Baaad mojo.

gboolean away = gtk_toggle_button_get_active (GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON(away));

Went head, cleaned up the patch and submitted the same. Now, i live in Peace.
