 Since MySpaceIM has been added to Pidgin, I've used it both on Windows and
 Linux.

 I notice that if I don't actually use MySpaceIM for awhile, it seems to
 time-out with no notification, and all my friends seem to be just as
 online as they always have been.  If I send them a message, it seems to go
 through (I get no error), but they never get the message I send.  Also, at
 this point, if someone tries to message me, I show as offline to them and
 will not get the message until I Disable my MySpaceIM account and re-
 enable it.

 I've also noticed that if I don't use any of my accounts for awhile, but
 leave them logged in, when I try to send any message on any IM account
 (AOL, Y!, MSN), sometimes MySpace will disconnect, and then a couple
 seconds later reconnect.  No error of any kind, just everyone goes away,
 and then everyone comes back.

 Also, I've noticed that if somehow my internet connection drops for a few
 minutes (which happens occasionally), all of my other IM services
 disconnect, and properly reconnect, however MySpaceIM shows itself as
 online and ready, and never actually disconnects and reconnects, and my
 friends show me as offline.  During this time, if they try to send me a
 message, I will not get it until I manually disconnect and reconnect.
 Also during this time if I send a message, it appears to be sent properly
 (with no error), but they never get my message.

 Interestingly enough, if my internet connection drops, MySpaceIM doesn't
 seem to disconnect like the rest of the services I use.  It shows online,
 with my friends online as well.  I've let this go on for upwards of 40
 minutes once, and never did it give any indication that there was no
 internet connection.

 I'm using Pidgin 2.4.1 (the latest available from the Ubuntu Repositories
 for 8.04.1) on Ubuntu Linux 8.04.1LTS.

 I'm using Pidgin 2.5.5 on Windows Vista Ultimate.

 Both show the same behavior for MySpaceIM.  AIM, MSN, and Y! (the others
 that I use) appear to work just fine.
