#10306: building with Mozilla NSS results in GnuTLS plugin still being used by
pidgin

  Status:  new       |   Component:  plugins            
 Version:  2.6.2     |    Keywords:  mozilla nss, gnutls
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 I built pidgin with these configure options: `--enable-gnutls=no --enable-
 nss=yes`.

 Despite this, the `ssl-gnutls.c` plugin for libpurple found in the
 directory `/pidgin-2.6.2/libpurple/plugins/ssl/` was still built and used
 by pidgin while connecting to an XMPP server with SSL.

 This was confirmed by the debug log showing connection errors from
 "gnutls" rather than something nss related.

 The workaround suggested on IRC was to remove the `ssl-gnutls.c` plugin
 prior to build. This worked, and I've updated the FAQssl to reflect this.
 The Makefile/build system should be updated to handle this if the user
 specifies NSS.
