#2049: Changing XMPP resource string destroys pounces
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter: shreevatsa | Type: defect
Status: new | Priority: minor
Component: pidgin (gtk) | Version: 2.0.2

After following
[http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Protocol%20Specific%20Questions#HowdoIchangemyresourcestring
the instructions in the FAQ] to change my resource string on an XMPP
account, I just did a grep in my .purple directory out of curiosity, and
found that the file 'pounces.xml' still contained the old resource
string... (also the file 'accels', but it was all comments in it so I
don't know if that's important).
Anyway, I restarted Pidgin and enabled the account again, and now I find
that all my old pounces are gone, and pounces.xml only contains the sole
pounce I had on another account.
Clearly when the resource is modified, 'pounces.xml' should be updated too
(and maybe pounces in the config file that don't correspond to any account
should not be deleted...)
