I don't know if this is the solution or workaround; but after doing the following i was able to "save my account settings": after receiving the note from Led Shark; i tried to find the accounts.xml in my ~/.purple directory. I could not find this file in that directory. On further checking I noticed that the owner and group of the .purple directory is "root" which is why system was not able to save accounts.xml in this directory. I changed the owner of the directory to my userid and recreated account settings. this time i could find the accounts.xml file in this directory. to be doubly sure; i re-booted and ...wow.. the account settings were saved! .... i am not sure if the .purple directory is "supposed" to have owner as root but i guess since the directory in the $HOME directory of my userid; my userid should be the owner.
