Forgive the misspelling. I won't blame it on the tiny keyboard, but on my foggy brain at the time. JPCJ

Easy Peasy is really Ubuntu 8.10, I am sue that you know that. There is
a fix relase for Jaunty and it appears that other users have confirmed
that it indeed is fixed in the newest release. I am on an EEE Pc right
now, and I am running Xubuntu 9.04. You should really try it out. It
indeed is worth it

In the meantime, while I wait until I have time to upgrade Ubuntu, Pidgin has a link on their site that gives instructions on how to make Pidgin update through Ubuntu's update packages. The patch must be re-applied after upgrading Ubuntu, but seems to work just fine.
