 Hi, I really don't know how else to discuss my complaints with 2.1.1
 I downloaded it and within minutes switched back to 2.0.1 which I like
 much better. I only use Pidgin for AIM and sometimes Yahoo. I do not have
 all of my conversations in one window but with the new version there is a
 tab at the top anyway which I do not like, its confusing and takes up
 space that is not needed.
 Also, I like the window better with all the options for font, smileys etc
 right on the bar so that I do not have to through three steps just to get
 a smiley. It was a little big but now its such a short menu and who would
 really have their window made that small? It was much more accessible with
 the options right on the im window.
 The real problem I have with the new versions is that when someone
 messages me for the first time, the window pops up over any existing
 windows and anything I am typing at the time starts to appear in their
 window, and if I am not paying very close attention I can accidently send
 a message to the wrong person.
 I like 2.0.1 because all the new conversations appeared in the upper left
 corner, although even then they were on top of each other and it would be
 better if they appeared fanned out the way aim, yahoo, etc have them
 appear. Even with them appearing on top of each other at least they were
 in a different spot than the other windows to avoid confusion.
 I am not sure if this problem has been fixed in the newest version of
 Pidgin, but in the 2.0.1 if I make certain smileys (such as crying), my
 friends on AIM do not see them at all just a very strange set of symbols
 or :P instead of the smiley.
