 Both of this weeks updates (2.7.6 and 2.7.7) have removed various png
 files from my C:\Program Files (x86)\Pidgin\pixmaps\pidgin folder that
 were installed by a plug-in.

 Why is this happening ? and is there anything that can be done to stop it
 removing files that belong to another installation ?

 Whilst I can just re-install the plug-in it is a bit annoying to have to
 do this.
