 Hello,
 there should be some script (or command-line option) which will enable
 root to disconnect/reconnect all users from pidgin, finch and other
 libpurple sessions using dbus.

 It should be usefull to call from:
 - init hook (halt,reboot)
 - sleep.d hook script for pm-utils (sleep,hibernate,wakeup)

 Why it should be done?
 - When halting or suspending pc there are open connections and zombie
 users left on IM servers which is not much appreciated by server
 operators...

 i am attaching sample sleep.d script i made, but it does not work 100%
 surely and pidgin is left disconnected after wakeup sometimes...
 definetely there should be something more reliable in distribution of
 pidgin.
