Comment:
Ah, for protocols that don't have server-side lists pidgin obviously can't
fetch the list from there. But in that case I would imagine that simply
restoring the blist.xml file while pidgin wasn't running would be enough
(as there won't be any server information to contradict the local
storage). But then again I don't know anything about Sametime/Meanwhile.
As to restoring the buddy list information correctly if copying blist.xml
in to place manually doesn't work you could try using the listhandler
plugin like I mentioned before, or you could extract the buddy names from
blist.xml and write a pidgin plugin to read them from a file and re-add
them, etc.
