I think it should be reasonable to include the following patch until we get 2.7.1 released: http://developer.pidgin.im/viewmtn/revision/info/e3dd36706068f3b8eabd630ff71d270c145cce42

Whoops. The patch victor posted is not related to this bug. The patch i applied is the following, as found in the upstream bug report:

Well... i have to admit the ticket link is right there about 200px above mine. I'm falling sick and my comprehension skills seem to bottom out. :/ The patch however works fine though and should be applied in my opinion, if 2.7.1 is not expected to be released very soon.
