Comment (by TacBoy):

 " As I noted in another ticket related to the automatic resizing, we had
  similar numbers of complaints about our changes to the buddy list and
  status UIs in the transition from 1.5.0 to 2.0.0.  The complaints died
  down after several weeks.  The loss of protocol icons as status
 indicators
  is a dead issue and has been for many months now.  The change to a status
  selector that is a first-class citizen in the buddy list window also
  caused some friction that died down after a short time.  The same will
  happen with the input area resizing given time."

 Given that my good friend and system administrator where I work who
 originally turned me to Pidgin STILL complains about this and some other
 changes and how it was not listened to says that just because it died down
 doesn't mean TRUE resolution was reached. Just that people figured out
 that they were not going to be listened too. Don't mispercieve acceptance
 for happiness.
