Honestly, I don't want to think about what kind of error this is. I either expect one of these two behaviors:
1. As long as the dialog is open (which might be required for debugging or getting support), gaim doesn't try to automatically connect (as there is a connect button that doesn't even get insensitive if the second connection attempt succeeds). 2. If a second error occurs (on the same account), add it (together with a timestamp) to the dialog; well, at least if the error is different. Reason: I don't want to think in terms of connections (in which case you're absolutely right); I just think about accounts - the core question of IM is whether or not an account is online, not how many connections failed. ** Changed in: gaim (Ubuntu) Status: Rejected => Unconfirmed -- Gaim pops up many popups for the same error https://launchpad.net/bugs/66385 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
