Bug Description
I had problems connecting to an account this morning.
Gaim displayed a button with red text. I clicked that button; it disappeared and a dialog appeared with an error message. I left that open; gaim tried to reconnect some time later. The button re-appeared. I clicked the button: there are two warning dialogs open.

This doesn't feel like a bug to me. You clicked to get details on two different connection failures. One could argue that if the error is the same, it shouldn't open two windows, but if the error is different, it's more tricky... If one error was "Connection refused" and the other "Bad password", should they be grouped together? I guess you could say the second one should replace the first. In any case, most people just close the dialog after looking at the reason (or clicking Connect), so I don't think it's something that really needs addressing.
I'm not the Ubuntu developer on this package, so if you feel this rejection is wrong, please change this to "Confirmed".
