I have upgraded a few months ago to Ubuntu 8.10. Pidgin is version 2.5.2
Very often, the pidgin account says: 
"1 account was disabled because you signed on from another location:" (which is 
possible when I would turn on my other computer; however, it also happens when 
that computer is not turned on at all since the last time that I connected this 
Pidgin instance)

This happens to my MSN account, not the Yahoo, XMPP (for my Google
account) or AIM. a

When reading the reports above, it seems to me that the problem is
intermittent with different account types.

When I press manually "reconnect" (or whatever that button says), it
reconnects.

Thanks everybody for the reports. Is there any information that I could
give that could help to solve the problem? Unfortunately, I am not
skilled enough in programming or compiling, otherwise, I would be happy
to help. If somebody can, I am happy to install a version of the
reconnect-plug-in, that creates a log file for whenever an account goes
off line. That way we could verifiy whether the reconnect-plug-in really
detects the disconnection and take it from there.
