Comment(by AZ):

 This issue is caused by a third party plugin.  We have no control over
 these plugins.  Please report this problem to the authors of this third
 party plugin.[[BR]]Here comes a perl plugin for pidgin (gtk2) which
 implements the encryption part of XEP-0027.
 The signing part makes no sense, as it is subject to replay attacks.

 Due to difficulties with integrating the plugin into the conversation
 window,
 one may now enable encryption by typing ENABLEPGP in the conversation
 window
 and disable it by typing DISABLEPGP in the conversation window (no leading
 spaces allowed).
 If any other encryption is in place (e.g. OTR or gaim-encryption), you
 won't be able to enable gpg encryption - as the commands are not detected
 ;).

 By default, this plugin will look for the jid in the gpg database (using
 the gpg console application in the search path) and use the found key if
 found. Entering secrets requires gpg-agent to be installed, but gpg-agent
 is run by default.

 Changeing gpg integration requires modification of the plugin source code.

 I've written and tested this plugin on an ubuntu intrepid x86
 installation.
