 I just got a message

 SSL Certificate Verification
 Accept certificate for gmail.com?
 The root certificate this one claims to be issued by is unknown to Pidgin.
 View Certificate   Reject   Accept

 Certificate Information
 Common name: gmail.com
 Fingerprint (SHA1):
 9f:f8:3b:da:2c:a3:12:55:24:d5:b9:d6:fc:49:69:8f:0a:91:d8:cd

 Which root certificate? Where does the chain of thrust break? Nobody can
 make a reasonable answer to the question. The user has to Accept but
 doesn't know what he is accepting.

 The Firefox dialog for unknown/selfsigned certificates (which I assume
 corresponds to this) is far from perfect, but at least it makes it
 _possible_ to understand the problem and make a qualified answer.
