Since the latest update to pidgin, my msn accounts won't automatically connect. All my other protocol accounts work as normal, connecting instantly while msn just stays offline. If I click on Accounts > MSN ones > Disable, then reenable it, it signs in properly but its getting annoying to do this everytime when it should be loading automatically.

On a side note, would it be possible to add msnp 14 and custom smiley support to the ubuntu builds. Whenever I try installing custom builds with these patches from http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/1187 , they get removed in favour of ubuntu's version.

I guess ubuntu will update when they actually release the next pidgin version?
