Comment (by suncho):

 Replying to [comment:156 dbeusee]:
 > I am with the huge majority that believe pidgin should have a preference
 to turn off this auto-resizing business.

 I am against adding preferences (we dont want another code-bloat like
 miranda).

 Still, for me the proper solution is manual resize (simple behaviour) by
 default  and automatic rezise (exotic behaviour) as a plugin. Automatic
 rezise turned out to be platform speciffic, something is supported by GTK,
 something is not. Some devices might not support the concept at all (how
 about the maemo port?).

 However, I dont think we are in a position to force the developers to do
 anything. That is the beauty of open source, after all - if '''you'''
 don't like something in the code, then '''you''' could change it. In the
 mean time, I got used to the autoresize... just fix the umlaut/cyrillic
 bug, please :)
