FW: Question about Pidgin logs

[Dave Warren]

Shoot, I meant to post to the list as well, sorry about that -- Just 
reorganized my toolbar buttons and I'm not used to the new layout yet.

I can't say that I've used that particular feature, so unfortunately 
that's one I can't comment on.  I doubt there's anything in the registry 
that would help though, since pidgin is crossplatform.  I took a quick 
gander through the preferences XMLs and didn't see any obvious knobs 
that might change this behaviour.
