It's been 8 years, every time wifi cuts out Pidgin is essentially unusable and knowing it won't reconnect half my services I've simply written a script to kill and relaunch it. To be a competent multi-client messenger we need a way to force auto-reconnect.

Reproduction: internet connection is away for a while (in my case wireless link physically broken for a while). All protocols get disconnected. Message appears in Pidgin under the list of contacts. Sofar this is expected. Then, the messages do not go away when connection comes back - appearently Pidgin does not quickly reconnect after internet connection comes back.
