huh.
What I know is that:

1. I had (version 2.6.x), according to --version
2. I attempted to connect to a local jabber server
3.  it complained something about lacking TLS support
4. I did not touch my pidgin user configs, but just started up sun's
/bin/pidgin from solaris 10, and that worked fine.
Thus I filed this bug, and uninstalled CSWpidgin.

As per the other bugs, CSWpidgin is long overdue for an update anyway. So
if you want to package up a newer version, I'd be willing to test it out
for you.
