Contacts using the new MSN Windows client trigger a chat window

[Serge van Ginderachter]

My contact is using a beta version (2009 build 14.0.5027.908)
When he comes online, this triggers a chat windows, where he is present two times (from his same account.)

Asking for feedback, he told me he's using some new MSN Live Beta client, which supports logging in on multiple locations simultaneously.

I suspect this is due to some extension in the protocol which pidgin's doesn't handle well, yet.

This behaviour was noticed on both the pidgin version in Hardy, as well as in Intrepid.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.
