This is still a problem in 8.10. Setting a global proxy makes Pidgin unable to connect to *anything*. Unsetting http_proxy and launching pidgin fails, too --- is it getting the proxy information via gconf instead?

In order to get any use out of pidgin I have to use Network Proxy to disable the proxy, start pidgin, and then use Network Proxy to reenable the proxy again. This is not optimal.
