Nothing if pidgin is not running. Otherwise: hikaru:~>xwininfo -tree -root | grep -i pidgin 0x3a00045 "Buddy List": ("pidgin" "Pidgin") 262x181+0+0 +0+0 0x3a00001 "Pidgin": ("pidgin" "Pidgin") 10x10+10+10 +10+10 0x3a00020 "Pidgin": ("pidgin" "Pidgin") 22x30+0+0 +3295+-31 After removing ~/.purple I get a pop up window "Accounts" with two entries, one for IRC and one for msn (that I added in the past with gaim, I think). However, there seems to be no way to do anything with the MSN one. If I click it twice, I get the "Modify Account" pop-up. If I click the 'enable' field instead then I get a "Pidgin" popup saying "Enter password for...". If I do that and click Ok, nothing happens. If I close the "Accounts" window, we're back where we started: with pidgin on the commandline doing nothing and no open windows. I ran pidgin again, it then pops up the MSN password window immediately, I enter some password (I'm afraid I forgot which/what it was) and click ok... the window disappears and that's it. -- Carlo Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
