@Laszlo: I think that should be possible. According to [1] the pidgin developers used this patch [2] in version 2.5.5 to bump the client version reported to the ICQ server to a more current version number. I haven't tested it, but it should be no great deal to apply this fix to an older pidgin version, too.
