See upstream: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/5597 Though it seems a lot better for me in factory. Given the empathy/telepathy is our chosen path forward, downgrading priority and upstreaming. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
