What you're describing is not the default behavior. Normally your accounts are specific to the OS user. This can be overridden using the "PURPLEHOME" environment variable (http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin#Whereismy.purpledirectory). It sounds like you have "PURPLEHOME" set to the same value for both users (probably be cause it is set as a System Environment variable). Changing this should restore the default behavior (which is apparently what you want). -D _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
