One would think.  But apparently it does not.  Again, the presence
message received:

    <presence from='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
            to='[EMAIL PROTECTED]/GAIM' type='error'>
        <status>Online</status>
        <error code='502'>Server Connect Failed</error>
    </presence>

I'm considering what else to do other than show the "buddy" off-line.

I considered doing an error pop-up, as is done with other errors.  But
if the user had a half-dozen buddies on the affected server that would
mean a half-dozen pop-ups.  No good ;).
