Comment (by Vertelemming):

 I can confirm this bug myself, and have been having it since before the
 first beta of Gaim 2.0. As far as I've ever been able to tell, nothing
 shows up in the debug window after the initial request to join a chat
 room. I have noticed that closing Pidgin and restarting it allows me to
 chat for a while, but after an arbitrary amount of time (usually about
 half an hour), it kicks me out of any active chats and I'm unable to join
 any new chats.

 I'm wondering if it might be something related to location, or network
 architecture. For as long as I've had this bug, I've been in the same town
 (Australia), and in the same sort of network (ADSL connection through a
 gateway router). Can't think of anything that would be that sensitive
 though.

 I can confirm that chats in general do work, too; IRC works, as do MSN
 chats, and when I load Trillian, I can use AIM chats without a problem
 from there, so this is not something endemic to Pidgin in general.
