 Since the changes in Yahoo servers and the recent login problem for
 Pidgin, which was fixed in 2.5.7, There seems to be some problem with
 avatars.

 Tested with Pidgin-2.5.7 both on linux and win32 as follows :
 Yahoo account on Pidgin/linux : set an avatar, having yourself in the list
 doesn't show it. Yahoo client of someone in your list shows either no
 avatar or a black square.
 Same test, same result on win32, testing with 2 accounts on same machine,
 one in Pidgin, one in Yahoo.
 Yahoo client, having yourself in the list, showed the icon change
 immediately.

 Furthermore, changed avatar on Yahoo client, 10 minutes later pidgin still
 did not show any change.

 Tested on 3 machines, 2 win32, 1 linux and about 6 accounts total, with
 the help of 2 other accounts on Yahoo client.

 I don't know if this is a temporary issue on Yahoo servers or something
 that they changed is now affecting pidgin's ability to work with them.

 I'll add a debug window extract from pidgin, while setting an avatar, in
 the next message.
