Comment:

 2.5.6 (latest one) on each

 ''"When grouping the buddies on one computer and then starting up Pidgin
 on another computer, the buddies *will not* be grouped; that's expected,
 as the grouping metadata is local-only."'' - i have grouped them (or tried
 we can say) on both computers

 and as i have already written ''googletalk (xmpp)/other protocol buddy
 does not stay grouped after relaunch if the alias on xmpp buddy is not set
 and pidgin uses "default" one from the server '' it had been happening
 even before i have been using two computers
