Actually I was wrong, when both sides are OTR-aware, it initialize itself without an explicit user request. I changed the policy from DEFAULT to MANUAL and now it won't start encrypting until explicitly asked by one side.

There were a few minor things that could be improved (e.g. automatically resizing the contact list), but that is not the topic here. The reason why I won't switch to empathy from pidgin is the missing OTR support (http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/ ). This is a really important feature because no one should read your messages. There were others with the same idea (links at the bottom). Would be so great if it could support that important encryption standard. Thanks for helping out!
