 Replying to [comment:7 darkrain42]:
 > What other protocols does it ''not'' occur for? (and are you comparing
 chats with IMs?)

 Here's a list of all the protocols available in my Pidgin that are not
 XMPP: AIM, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, GroupWise, ICQ, IRC, MSN, MySpaceIM, QQ,
 SILC, SIMPLE, Sametime, Yahoo, Zephyr.

 And no, I'm not comparing chats to IMs. Such a comparison would be
 irrelevant, as the two may indeed be managed differently, which would
 render the argument in my previous message invalid. It would be like
 comparing apples to oranges, although this analogy does not do justice to
 the difference between chats and IMs, as it always makes sense to compare
 apples to oranges when a fair comparison is made (for example one prefers
 oranges because one finds good oranges better than good apples, and
 average oranges better than average apples, and bad oranges better than
 bad apples; as you can see, the comparison makes sense because similar-
 quality products are compared based on the same person's taste), whereas
 comparing chats to IMs with respect to my reported bug is invalid and
 useless (not to emphasize that it would be a broken bug report, if not
 pretty dumb).

 In other words, I'm comparing IMs to IMs and chats to chats, both of which
 don't work with XMPP, while they both work (and always have, to my
 testing) with other protocols *on the same Pidgin*.
