Pidgin helper: multiple status change entries

[Eduardo Rivas]

The pidgin helper displays repeated entries for "Disconnect" and "Set away". Steps to reproduce:
1. Start dock
2. Start pidgin
3. Everything ok
4. Restart pidgin
5. The helper begins to repeat entries
6. Restart pidgin again, more entries are added.

Docky 2.1.0
bzr docky r1449 ppa
Pidgin 2.7.1 (libpurple 2.7.1)
Ubuntu 10.04 GNOME

Confirmed. And after I confirmed the bug I saw this in the logs:

Note that at this point I can not confirm if it is a helper bug or a Docky bug.
