 Replying to [comment:5 PhobosK]:
 > Though i am not familiar with the NM part of Pidgin's code i think it
 should be not so hard to disable it via a hidden option at runtime.
 Because making an app's behavior dependent on compile time options is a
 bit inconvenient.

 Pidgin 2.6.0 will, I believe, support ignoring NM at startup via a
 command-line option ("-f, --force-online  force online, regardless of
 network status")
