Missing buddy icons

[António Casqueiro]

  Hello!

I've been using pidgin for about 2,5 years. I notice before some 
problems regarding the buddy icon, but not as severe as now. Sometimes 
my friends changed their buddy icon, but it wasn't updated in Pidgin. 
Now the problem is ever worse, I reinstall pidgin and the pictures/buddy 
icons of almost all my friends don't appear any more (they have no 
picture in ~/.purple/icons/). The all have MSN accounts. For one of them 
one half of the picture is shown. I checked the ~/.purple/icons/ folder 
and his image did download completely.
