Pidgin 2.7.3 and KDE4 - something wrong?

[Andersen, Jan]

I tried to run this under strace, and the last several lines of the trace repeat this:

2786  read(7, 0x16ec764, 4096)          = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
2786  poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN}, {fd=11, events=POLLIN}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN}], 7, 29971

- and then it just stops. To me it looks like it tries to connect, but what do I know. Is this what one would expect to see if networkmanager report "no connections"?

The first time I started it up, I added my two MSN accounts and chatted happily for a while. After having rebooted the machine, however, I find it simply doesn't connect any more - it just hangs there, waiting for network connection. Is this a known problem? I assume this isn't Pidgin that has an error, but where do I start in order to debug this?

The problem is that networkmanager is reporting that you don't have
any connections, so Pidgin doesn't try to connect.
