#8694: Support NetworkManager 0.7 multiple device
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
     Reporter:  pedric  |        Type:  defect        
       Status:  new     |   Component:  libpurple     
      Version:  2.5.5   |    Keywords:  NetworkManager

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 As shipped with Ubuntu 8.10, NetworkManager 0.7 supports multiple active
 devices, such as wired and wireless networking at the same time. If one
 interface is disconnected or fails, the other should still provide
 networking without the need for user interaction. However, this does not
 currently work with Pidgin.

 How to reproduce:
 1. Login with pidgin and networkmanager 0.7 autostarting, with wired
 networking plugged and wireless configured.
 2. See pidgin start nicely
 3. Send and receive some messages
 4. Pull the plug
 5. See NetworkManager tray icon go "wireless"

 Expected behaviour:
 6. Send and receive some more messages without problems

 Observed behaviour:
 6. Pidgin stalls and is neither able to send nor receive messages and
 status updates (until some timeout?).
 7. User needs to manually reconnect
