Comment(by ioerror):

 Right - that's the idea - if I'm using Google Talk with Tor, which I am -
 I don't want to do a SRV lookup. It is not safe.

 I want to be told that the connection fails with my proxy because it does
 not support SRV lookups. I expect that pidgin may want to warn me about a
 need to fill in the advanced tab by hand or something similar. Otherwise,
 I will leak information that allows someone to perform a MITM attack on me
 or worse.

 I don't see how a plugin will change this behavior?
