Priority:  minor       |   Component:  winpidgin (gtk)

 After upgrading from 2.3.1 to 2.4.0, messages over AIM from the Miranda IM
 client to Pidgin are not getting translated. Instead, I see the error
 "(There was an error receiving this message. Either you and XXXX have
 different encodings selected, or XXXX has a buggy client.) The debug
 output is:

 (09:50:05) oscar: Conversion from UCS-2BE failed: Conversion from
 character set 'UCS-2BE' to 'UTF-8' is not supported.
 (09:50:05) oscar: String is not valid UTF-8.

 This problem did not occur in 2.3.1. Note that messages from Pidgin to
 Miranda are read correctly by the Miranda client. (Miranda version 0.7.3
 Unicode, Built Nov 12 2007 14:02:10.)

 I've tracked this down to the GTK runtime version. I reinstalled 2.3.1,
 but used the GTK runtime version from 2.4.0 and the problem still
 occurred. Reverting back to the GTK runtime from 2.3.1 resolved the
 problem.

 Hope this helps.
