Comment:

 Yes, there are in many cases better things that pidgin can do than spawn
 duplicate windows but not in all cases (at least I'm not convinced that it
 will always serve the same purposes, but that's another issue entirely).

 In order to better handle errors like this the window would need to
 include a list of the times that the error occurred (I can imagine a
 scenario where the user would need to know when pidgin had tried and
 failed to join a room, in office scenarios for example).

 I would imagine a patch to implement a better error handling system would
 be accepted (in similar fashion to how the buddy pounces, mail
 notifications, and buddy list authorization requests have moved to better
 systems in the recent past).
