Pedro et al,

I have reverted to using Pidgin in 7.10 (which I think it similar to
if not the same as Gaim), and it has been behaving very well over the
past few months. I cannot recall if the change to 7.10 was
responsible, or if there were updates, but as of now the drops are no
more than 1 per month.
