#4088: AIM buddy icon disappearing after a few minutes of chat with particular
account combination
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  bconway       |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new           |   Priority:  minor 
Component:  pidgin (gtk)  |    Version:  2.3.0 
 Keywords:                |    Pending:  0     
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 I have two identical systems, Debian Etch/4.0 with Pidgin compiled from
 source (details of the ./configure at the end).  I use two accounts on
 each, and Pidgin preferences are the same between them, except for things
 like away messages:

 System 1:[[BR]]
 AIM: Account 1[[BR]]
 XMPP (GTalk): Account 2

 System 2:[[BR]]
 AIM: Account 3[[BR]]
 Yahoo: Account 4

 In both cases, a 50x50 jpg is set as the default buddy icon, and a larger
 96x96 is set for the XMPP and Yahoo accounts. What happens *only* with AIM
 Account 3 is that after a few minutes of chatting, the buddy icon
 displayed when I mouse over myself in my buddy list is missing. It is
 still displayed in the default icon location. This doesn't happen with AIM
 Account 1. My blist.xml file shows the correct file for the buddy icon,
 and the file exists in my icons folder.

 The only two ways to get the icon back are:[[BR]]
 A.) Right-click the default icon and remove it, then re-add it.[[BR]]
 B.) Close Pidgin and restart it.  Just signing off the offending AIM
 account and logging back in through the Manage window will not restore the
 icon.

 I have tried manually setting the icon for each AIM account in the Manage
 window, but the same behavior happens on AIM Account 3. I've been seeing
 this since around 2.1.0, and it's still present in 2.3.0, but again, only
 with that particular account combination. It's regularly reproducible for
 me, if I can provide more info.
