 Sorry to double-post.  Just noticed something possibly interesting.  If
 you close the chat before you're kicked by the server, you don't have to
 disable the account, you can simply rejoin.  If you get kicked by the
 server, you have to disable and re-enable.

 Here's how to duplicate it:

 1. Join a chat room with Pidgin.  Also join the same chat room using a
 different client and a different account (I'm using Naim).  Make sure
 there's traffic in the room.

 2. When things are working, you'll get messages to both windows, Pidgin
 and Naim.  When Pidgin dies, you'll see messages arriving in Naim, but not
 in Pidgin.  At this time, if you close the chat tab, you can rejoin the
 room with the "Join chat" command or by clicking on a saved chat in the
 buddy list, as normal.

 3. If you leave the tab open long enough, Naim will show that your Pidgin
 account has left the room.  After this point, you can't get Pidgin to re-
 join the room, even if you close the tab, and an account disable-reenable
 is required to get chat functionality back.

 Hope this helps.
