Privacy settings resetting to default by restarting Pidgin 2.10.6

[Oliver Ehlebracht]

Hi Mark,

we're using XMPP on our own ejabberd 2.1.11-3 server. Changing the privacy setting in Pidgin seems to work fine even in debug mode:

> (11:25:27) util: Writing file blist.xml to directory C:\Users\test\AppData\Roaming\.purple
> (11:25:27) util: Writing file C:\Users\test\AppData\Roaming\.purple\blist.xml

In blist.xml the mode option is set to '5'. After quitting an restarting Pidgin the mode option is set back to '4'.

Best Regards, Oliver
