Comment (by mtthw.cmpbll):

 This did not solve the problem.

 I have a second user account on the same jabber server with a screen name
 of 'matt_campbell'.  Using that as the screen name field and
 'jabberserver' in the domain field, Pidgin connects fine.

 Following the instructions provided, with 'mcampbell' as my screen name,
 'company.com' as the domain, and 'jabberserver' as the advanced>>server, I
 receive a Not Authorized error.  In the debug window, I see this
 configuration seems to end up with a JID of 'mcampbell at company.com/spark'.
 Using another XMPP IM client, I can view my client information and my JID
 is 'mcampbell at company.com@jabberserver/spark'.  If the server admin set up
 my account with a username containing an @ symbol, Pidgin doesn't seem to
 be able to accommodate that.

 The server is Jive Software's OpenFire XMPP server, not sure which
 version.

 As a side note, I'm a software developer and would love to dig around in
 the code if there was indeed a bug.  But this simply seems to be a
 functionality problem to me.  With two text boxes (one for the screen name
 and one for the domain), there doesn't seem to be any reason for parsing
 the screen name textbox for @ signs and moving that portion to the domain
 box.  If I put 'mcampbell at company.com' in the screen name box and
 jabberserver as the domain, that's what I want my screen name and domain
 to be.
