 Replying to [comment:2 lschiere]:

 window usable.  I'm tempted to close this "wontfix".

 Sure, but:[[BR]]
 - 1) Why do these depend on the contact's protocol? Isn't it against the
 current Pidgin philosohpy like it's not about protocols/services, it's
 about contacts? The dimensions/file length limits should be the same
 everywhere.[[BR]]
 - 2) ... and those limits shoudn't be hardcoded, I suppose.
