I use a personal account and a work account at the same time and that usually causes some problems. Pidgin gets confused, loads one or the other instance, or sometimes none at all. It's interesting how the information of the Account (accounts.xml) also gets changed when running two instances, from one to the other. Any news on this topic would be good new :-) Any news on the development of real multiple login support on Win?

It is a useful function because it helps to understand if the contact is still partecipating on chat. Thank you in advance !
