Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin
when I set my status to 'invisible' in pidgin 2.4.1 on Ubuntu 8.04.1, people from my friends list can still see me as signed on and initiate conversation. This is a highly undesirable outcome. Please help! It is not really a security bug, but it is quite annoying.

I confirm this bug,
I use Ubuntu 8.04 32bits with pidgin 2.4.1, and the Invisible status doesn't seem to work on XMPP/jabber accounts (and also on google talk accounts, which use XMPP protocol).
It works on my hotmail and yahoo accounts.
Perhaps an implementation problem ?
