Comment (by stegoe):

 I have the same problem with Debian unstable:

 ii  libmeanwhile1  1.0.2-3        open implementation of the Lotus
 Sametime Co
 ii  libpurple0     2.3.1-1        multi-protocol instant messaging library
 ii  pidgin         2.3.1-1        graphical multi-protocol instant
 messaging c
 ii  pidgin-data    2.3.1-1        multi-protocol instant messaging client
 - da

 I estimate that there is a simple check on some protocol header on the
 Sametime servers. Initially I get a working connection (buddy states are
 shown correct) when I connect. Then I get disconnected with the message
 shown above. Some time ago there was a similar problem that could be
 solved by checking the "Hide client identity" in the Sametime account
 properties. May be it would be enough to fool the server by sending a
 different protocol version number?
