Facebook - Pidgin unreliable ever since recent facebook chat changes.

[Les Fenison]

Is it even a good idea to run pidgin on multiple machines logged
into the same facebook account at the same time? 

Not only am I seeing
data missing from one machine or the other but also it seems to be very
confused as to if people are online or offline. The system that i was
complaining about that was missing data, shows my buddy as being offline
and he has been for 6 hours. Facebook and my mobile devices also agree
that he is offline. Yet the other system that wasn't missing the data,
still thinks he is not only ONline but also not idle. 

Also, I
discovered that the two machines ARE NOT running the same versions. 


Version 2.9.0 is missing the data occasionally yet accurately reports
when the person is on/off line. 

Version 2.7.7 Doesn't miss any data
but inaccurately reports hen the person is on/off line.

Pidgin 2.9.0 logged in on two machines here at one time. One machine has
ALL the chat data, while the one I am sitting at is missing data.

Well, it looks like you need to compare these two machines and see

what's different. It does not appear to be the other systems involved.
