Package: pidgin Version: 2.6.6-1 Severity: normal According to the changelog for Pidgin 2.6.6 [1], a new feature introduced in 2.6.6 was that the AIM protocol transport now allows setting and displaying icons between 1x1 and 100x100 pixels, whereas previously, only icons between 48x48 and 50x50 were allowed. Since ICQ uses the same protocol, I would have expected that this same change could be implemented for the ICQ protocol as well. However, it seems like the ICQ protocol still restricts to 48x48 to 50x50 icons; if you try to give it a 100x100 icon for your buddy icon, it will feed it through a image resizing library before sending a resized image to the server.
