Comment (by Enygma):

 Tried both at home and at work... both Fedora Core 7, from fedora
 installation then updated with 'yum update pidgin'.

 I`m having this problem from aloooong time...

 this shows up in accounts.xml:

 and this shows up in my blist.xml under my account (I added myself in the
 list):
