Ahh... this is the reason, the version it "works" on is old (although I thought we fixed this before 2.3.1). It doesn't *really* work in the older version - it'll seem to work, but then you run into weird problems because we can't distinguish the accounts. > (I am able to fake it on debian by using a different name on creation and > modify it later before use- it works - but this ends when I close pidgin: > one of the 2 accounts is dropped then) It is a bug that you can do this.

What is is good for > then if it is ignored? It is a bug that we don't consider "resource" for the xmpp account primary key. There's a ticket for it already. It never was part of the key, as I mentioned earlier, we just didn't previously prevent you from breaking stuff by creating what look like duplicate accounts to libpurple. > > BTW: I do not see the need to be unique with the account name in pidgin > without counting the server I connect to?!?

It turns out that we already addressed what you're running into: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/5086 http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/5324 -D _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [email protected] http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
