authorization replies and smileys

[Frank Paetow]

Hi!

During the last days I receive authorization replies without ever having requested. I then have changed my ICQ password and it happened again. Is this a weakness of the ICQ protocol or of multy-messengers in general? This also happens with Trillian.

I started the Messenger by a terminal because I'm looking for the cause of Bug #14647: Empty untitled window

pidgin -d > ~/debug2.log 2>&1

Can these smiling windows also be messages from unknown ICQ or Jabber users? They appear very seldomly.

Find the debug protocol of the minute when the latest authorization reply from 580440286 appeared below. You can contact me via Jabber (Frankynstone at jabber.ccc.de) or e-mail (Frankynstone at gmx.de).

best
Frank
