 I do not use tabbed chat crap, I demand separate chat windows for
 everybody.[[BR]]
 I also use a proxy.

 Due to proxy, I sometimes get DCd (disconnected). The worst part is, that
 I won't know it, until I open up Contacts list / main window to see if
 there's an network error message.
 Today, for example, I got DCd 4 times. First I didn't even understand, why
 my chatbuddy won't respond, until I opened up the main window, which said
 that I got disconnected due to network error. It's really annoying to
 manually check the main window, after every 10 minutes, for a possible
 network error message and then manually Reconnect again.
 The even queerer part is, that after a while of messing with the reconnect
 button and re-entering my password, my account gets disabled in Pidgin, so
 I have to re-enable my account for login again.. why's that for? Maybe
 good for security, but the only one who uses my computer is me and that
 security tweak doesn't check if there's a proxy in use.

 I request:[[BR]]
 '''1.''' Display all network error messages in Chat window.[[BR]]
 '''2.''' Make Pidgin reconnect automatically on error, 3
 retries.[[BR]]Display all of that too in chat window.[[BR]]
 '''3.''' Remove account disabling bollocks.

 '''4.''' Will you ever encrypt the password file?[[BR]]
 It doesn't need to have military encryption, just be unreadable without
 using any special decryption tools.
