 I do agree that the developers have the right to choose what to add and
 what not to add.  It just means a fork gets created to support what some
 feel may be better for them.  I suggest we all stop complaining, since it
 wont get fixed here.

 After saying that, I do feel this feature should be an option, and I love
 funpidgin's implementation of the option in plugins.  Hopefully the fork
 will keep up and live long.  Long live Fun Pidgin :)  [although the site
 needs a few fixes, missing links]

 I also agree with the statement above about keeping the options clean, but
 the plugin location is a pretty good location for this option, although it
 is not an intuitive location or name.

 The pidgin auto-resize can be good in some situations, but not all.

 Pidgin Team, Thank You for all you have brought and will continue to
 bring.

 Fun Pidgin Team, Thank You for making it fun and implementing the features
 users want.
