Comment:

 Filesystem is ext3, which is definitely case sensitive. Windows XP,
 however, is not w.r.t. filenames. Shouldn't Windows name the files
 whatever pidgin tells it to? (using ext2ifs to support ext3 on winxp)

 Alternately, if this is a problem with windows, would it make sense for
 pidgin to be case insensitive if it's intended to be compatible with
 sharing settings across OSes?
