 the account dialog *is* the Connect Server, look at the field label
 (assuming you are not using a translated interface).

 this might arguably be a bug. The SRV record (as per the
 [http://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc3920.html#rfc.section.14.3 rfc]) is _xmpp-client.


 Yep that works (removing talk.google.com)

 ;; QUESTION SECTION:
 ;_xmpp-client._tcp.talk.google.com. IN  SRV

 ! Nothing there for talk.google.com but there is for google.com

 ;; QUESTION SECTION:
 ;_xmpp-client._tcp.google.com.  IN      SRV

 _xmpp-client._tcp.google.com. 850 IN    SRV     20 0 5222

 So there is no bug here really pidgin should suggest or change the connect
 server to be blank (at least in this case) as the option is now just
 causing  ssl cert queries. ^^
