I was asking for Pidgin Bonjour documentation and not Bonjour documentation.

This is my point. A more specific questions goes on the lines of: - How do I create an account. - What do I need to be running t make the account work (you said to install avahi-discover) but I think this is more complex than flipping a switch on the preferences. IE seems this is a gtk app and I use KDE. - What is the process to discover users, is there a 'scan' tool or does users just show up on my buddy list. - I see that the users show up on a bonjour group.
