The problem is not actually that easy - you also need to go into Pidgin's advanced configuration, and set gateway.messenger.hotmail.com:80 as the MSN server for the client. This ability to configure a server & port was never made available in the wengophone's UI, for the simple reason that it was considered unnecessary for 99.999% of users. It's now a workaround to a problem with the way Pidgin handles a part of the MSN protocol (which refers to another host for the actual message transport, rather than using gateway.messenger). Also, this problem only affects people using MSN over HTTP - which includes all Wengo users (since that option was the one which always worked, why offer people the possibility to configure it?). Since this bug, Julien Bossart has added the ability to connect to MSN directly in the 2.2 branch, which addresses the problem for MSN users not behind a firewall. Julien's now looking for the best way to solve this problem permanently - which may be to allow the server configurability as it's done in Pidgin, but I suspect that they'll find a better and less hacky way to get around that problem. Not *quite* as simple as a one line patch (although I thought so too, initially - see my mail on the subject last week).
