Comment (by kunalashar):

 For a Yahoo account configured to use the HTTP proxy (the one that Yahoo
 Messenger works with), the debug window shows this:

 (13:07:33) dnsquery: Performing DNS lookup for 172.16.0.72
 (13:07:33) autorecon: done calling purple_account_connect

 For a Yahoo account configured to use the SOCKS4 proxy, the debug window
 shows this:

 (13:10:15) account: Connecting to account kunal_ashar

 (13:10:16) socks4 proxy: Connected.

 In the latter case, the Pidgin window's status indefinitely remains at
 "Connecting" and the main contacts window is empty/blank.
