cannot reconnect after resume

[Nikolaus Filus]

Binary package hint: pidgin

source: pidgin-2.5.2ubuntu1 (Intrepid)

pidgin can't reconnect to servers after resume until restarted.
Issue is tracked and fixed upstream in http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/7323
I recompiled pidgin from ubuntu's source and confirm the fix.
Please include the patches into ubuntu.

The referenced patch doesn't solve the problem in all cases. It still doesn't work for me in most cases.

Reproduce faluty behaviour:
open a terminal as root
  /etc/acpi/suspend.d/07-networkmanager-sleep.sh
nm-applet turns offline
pidgin looses all connections, BUT shows status as still beeing online/available
  /etc/acpi/resume.d/63-networkmanager-wake.sh
pidgin status flickers for a fraction of a second and turns back to online, BUT
can not re-connect to any account. Instead it shows warnings, that the server names
can not be resolved.

Seems like pidgin is not notifed about online/offline or some re-connect part is missing.
