Is there any particular reason that pidgin doesn't use the existing Windows certificate store? This would seem to alleviate the need to juggle with certificates manually.

Or did I miss part of the plot here?

    Very weird. Well, maybe not: if it's ONE server, maybe load is
    higher in the evening, so that server gets pressed into action, goes
    idle eventually? If there's some sort of client-server persistence,
    then that might continue until that server goes idle again and gets
    dropped from the cluster. Of course I'm making this up as I go
    along, but it does fit the symptoms...

    I am still getting those popups.

    Why wouldn't Pidgin remember the accepted certificate?
