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:

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

 }}}

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