Package: pidgin
Version: 2.10.6-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

I use Irssi as a proxy for XCHAT and Pidgin to stay connected to my chat
networks and have my active channels always opened up when starting one of the
above mentioned clients.
What I noticed for the Pidgin part of this is, usually the chatrooms use to
stay open in Irssi when closing its client (e.g. XCHAT), however, when closing
those chats in Pidgin's window, one also get disconnected from the channels
(still not the servers) in Irssi.

Nevertheless, I managed to find a workaround for the problem, by going to the
account settings and simply uncheck the IRC network which will disconnect
Pidgin from Irssi but not disconnect the Irssi proxy from opened channels.

I'd like to request a fix for this in future packages, if possible, as this
error uses to be very annoying.


Best regards
