Package: pidgin
Version: 2.6.6-2
Followup-For: Bug #545143

Some random thoughts:
a) It is not needed to disable all accounts and reenable all of them again. If 
you disable and reenable one, that one will connect even if the others are 
still "Waiting for..."
b) Network Manager is a dependency of a lot of packages, like 
network-manager-gnome which is a recommendation of gnome package itself. So it 
is not always a good idea to purge it.
c) Final users do not want to hand-type 'pidgin -f' but to click on the pidgin 
icon and have it working, or just to have it reconnect when they close session 
and relogin next day

Just my two cents
