#7938: Too many authorization requests causes pidgin to crash

 I've recently had to use another IM client (Psi) on a company I worked for
 and there I was forced to re-add every contact I had in MSN because due to
 some particularities of the company's network they've got a '@name-of-the-
 company.com' appended to their usernames, like if they were new contacts.
 Since my contact list had 230+ contacts I've had to re-authorize/re-ask
 authorization to each one of them.

 Later when I logged in on Pidgin it tried to open these 230+ authorization
 popups at once, consuming a huge amount of system resources and finally
 causing Pidgin to crash.

 Pidgin should, IMO, open one authorization request popup at a time,
 therefore consuming less resources and preventing the crash from
 happening.
