Comment (by phannent):

 To me the obvious thing with this is that Pidgin doesn't get the chance to
 tell the servers its going offline. Searching around I found that there is
 a bit of a lack of an API for this, however a simple trick would be to
 shutdown Pidgin in the event of a suspend and restart it again on resume:

 [http://stackoverflow.com/q/14376534/24459
 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14376534/how-to-detect-whether-system-
 is-going-to-standby-in-linux-using-c]

 Which informs us that if we put a file in /etc/pm/sleep.d it will execute
 it before suspend. Something like:


 {{{
 #!/bin/bash
 case $1 in
 suspend)
     #suspending to RAM
     killall -s SIGTERM pidgin
     ;;
 resume)
     #resume from suspend
     sleep 3
     pidgin
     ;;
 esac
 }}}

 Now you can just either open Pidgin or tell it to close and this bug is
 fixed outside of Pidgin.
