Alright, well I appreciate all the thought and discussion that exploded about this problem. The pidgin team appreciates it. Though I'm sorry to say I'm not up to speed with all this Gentoo talk. I gather that when IUSE defaults come out, the ability to specify default USE flags on a per

Would it be possible to have all the protocols for net-im/pidgin turned on by default. We often get people coming to #pidgin looking for help as to why they can't get MSN or some other protocol working. It most often is because they haven't enabled the given protocol USE flag. There is nothing
