However, it doesn't always default to the right protocol (AIM, Y!M, et al.).

OK. I know a moderate amount about certs; what trust store does Pidgin use on
Windows?
Mind you, the messages have stopped, so maybe it's using the Windows trust
store and that got updated...
One of my GMail correspondents has started showing offline, even tho she's
