Comment:

 Replying to [comment:14 darkrain42]:
 > You posted this bug claiming this occurred with many protocols (i.e.
 Yahoo), not ''just'' Gadu-Gadu.

 > Gadu-Gadu's strange behavior is the exception. Every other protocol you
 listed ''does'' sync with the server automatically.

 it's quite strange... I did compared the contacts between those in Pidgin
 and on server's and there are much differences with means that they didn't
 realy got synched

 Updated the bug information (added log)
