It is a different issue (one that exists in the kernel, IMO) but is easily fixed by bringing NM into the picture. In a perfect world, one could build Pidgin with NM support but be able to turn it off, and then everyone would be happy... I will continue to patch my Pidgin packages then. It's not a huge deal, and at least I *have* that option anyway. :) (As a post-script, I would like to point out, however, that the correct resolution to that bug should probably be "remove NetworkManager.") -- Chris Howie http://www.chrishowie.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Crazycomputers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
