Hello, I am an Ubuntu user and long-time Pidgin lover. I have a minor irritation though: when my wireless drops, all my Pidgin connections drop, and then re-establish. I could live with this but that means I blip in and out on IRC channels, and that annoys my friends.
When my network blips, my SSH sessions stay up: they're using a more "ignorant" approach to networking which I am used to with Unix systems. Q: Is there a switch somewhere to turn off Pidgin's awareness / handling of networkmanager events? Is it possible to build a non-networkmanager-aware client? (Or just make IRC ignore networkmanager?) How hard would it be for a Unix Admin with rudimentary C programming ability who completed a course in socket programming a decade ago to hack this in? Should I be bugging the developer alias with this question? Thanks for any pointers.
