 Hello.

 I'm currently running Pidgin 2.3.1 on Gentoo 2007.0. The problem i'm
 reporting showed up since 2.2.1. From what i can remember, in 2.1.0 there
 was no problem.

 Problem description:
 We use a SOCKS5 proxy server. If i set it in Tools -> Preferences ->
 Network -> Proxy Server (IP, port - no user/pass specified), then no
 accounts can log in (Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, XMPP). If i set the exactly the same
 data in each account Advanced -> Proxy Options, the logging in works.

 I will attach the purple-debug.log pidgin created (stripped).

 Test scenario: I disabled all accounts, yahoo being setup to use Global
 Proxy Settings. Tried to log in -> failure. Changed proxy settings for
 account to the same data (IP, port - no user/pass), retried -> OK.

 From what i can guess from the debug log, it looks like although i have no
 user/password setup for Global Proxy settings, Pidgin tries to auth to the
 proxy server.

 Thank you for your time.
