 I couldn't get the "pidgin --protocolhandler=" stuff to work.  It
 complained it couldn't find the running version of pidgin.

 I dug into the code (2.4.0), and did some tests, and I think I see why.
 The code in win32/winpidgin.c:handle_protocol(), calls FindWindowEx() to
 search for a Pidgin message window by window class name, but specifies a
 NULL window name (last arg to FindWindowEx).  However, when that window is
 created in win32/gtkwin32dep.c:winpidgin_message_window_init(), it is
 given the name "WinpidginMsgWin".

 The handle_protocol() code should specify the correct window name that was
 used to create the window.  Using an external Python script with pythonwin
 extensions, I can find the window calling FindWindowEx with the correct
 classname and window name, but not calling it the way Pidgin calls it.
