Pidgin 2.7.0 breaks Guifications

[Aaron Leonard]

Following up for the benefit of the list ... I decided to switch
to using Snarl, which is compatible with Pidgin 2.7, and which I find
to be more functional than Guifications anyway.  I'm using V40.15
(R2.21.)  http://www.fullphat.net/

Hth,

Aaron
