 I think I may have come across a Pidgin security problem and would like to
 know if anyone else has had this happen to them. I have had a brief look
 at the Pidgin page but have not seen anything remotely close to what just
 happened to me.

 I was just chatting to 2 separate friends when Pidgin kept saying one was
 now online, it did this the other day as well. I asked her if she had a
 connection problem and she said her only PC issue right now was her msn
 kept opening a second window. This window contained another chat that I as
 having with another friend. The one with the new windows opening all the
 time was using msn (in Windows of course) and I was chatting to her from
 my yahoo account. Anyway the second person I was chatting to her through
 my msn account to her yahoo account. Long story short I only use my msn
 for 1 person and only because my yahoo wont connect to her yahoo. Some of
 the chat is deeply personal in nature and I am quite worried about "Cross-
 contamination" in Pidgin now. I realised just now that I am lucky to have
 very respectful online friends who kept shutting the new window down but
 that does not change the fact that this is a SERIOUS security flaw.

 Please feel free to ask relevant questions
