 Hello

 I know this is not exactly considered a bug, but I think it seriously
 destroys the user experience.

 The problem is with blist.xml - when pidgin (gaim did this too) gets
 restarted hard, like a system hard reboot (via button on the case), pidgin
 often destroys blist.xml, putting garbage into it. Sometimes, quite often,
 it destroys it's backup as well, leaving the user with no buddy list.

 This isn't a nightmare usually, when You've got all the contacts exported
 to the server, but all the IRC channels disappear and all the combined
 contacts (like You've got one buddy, but You can reach him through let's
 say Jabber and Gadu-Gadu), so every user from every source gets it's own
 buddy in the list again and that IS pretty frustrating.
