Comment:

 In this case Pidgin states that there's a "problem" with connecting
 propably because there's a problem with my account and that the account is
 disabled.
 Most of the time that happens in the morning when I start up my computer
 and nearly allways with MSN.

 When I press the button with the problem on it Pidgin asks if I want to
 re-enable the account and when I do, it happily re-connects with the
 unchanged accountdata.
 If I don't take this action, Pidgin won't try to reconnect :-(

 I suspect it to be a "time-out" problem of some sort which triggers Pidgin
 in thinking it can't connect because of a accountproblem. I can imagine
 the time-out happens because I'm busy starting up all kinds of programs at
 that moment and Pidgin simply doesn't get enough processortime.
 As I stated it's the MSN plugin that quits most of the time but the ICQ-
 plugin does it as well sometimes. And when it happens to both accounts
 Pidgin puts up a dialog in which I have to re-enable both accounts. And
 when I have (not changing anything else) both accounts happily re-connect
 (most of the time).

 Hope this helps?
