I did first search on code.google.com for references to
PURPLE_CONV_TYPE_MISC.

Only real references I could find were:
1.http://pidgin-woodpecker.googlecode.com/svn-history/r67/trunk/extras/src/roombrowse.c
A plugin where the web-page mentions it "no longer works".

2. Adium
Where PURPLE_CONV_TYPE_MISC is treated the same as
PURPLE_CONV_TYPE_UNKNOWN.

I do hang-out in the XMPP MUC occasionally (nickname = Pavlov).
