 When joining an IRC chat - e.g., #pidgin - the conversation window becomes
 as wide as needed to fit the chat topic text.  The window cannot be shrunk
 to a width smaller than what is needed to fit the text.  E.g., in the
 #pidgin IRC chat, the topic text is:

 {{{
 The topic for #WineHQ is: End user/tech support channel for Wine (
 www.winehq.org ) || for off-topic: #winehq-social  || Sidenet, WineDoors,
 Cedega, IEs4Linux, etc are NOT supported here || Check
 http://appdb.winehq.org/ for app compatibility, wiki:
 http://wiki.winehq.org FAQ : http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ || don't use
 compiz/beryl with wine || Latest version is: [0.9.49] please upgrade
 before asking for help
 }}}
 The conversation window becomes wide enough to fit all of that text on a
 single line in the area above the active message pane.  What "should"
 happen is that a long line of this nature should be either a) truncated or
 b) wrapped.

 I have only (currently) tested this on a RHEL4 system with Gnome as my
 window manager.  I didn't notice the problem on my old RH9 system using
 gaim (2.0.x-beta).  I've attached (or tried to attach) a snapshot of this.
 This is seen in a "vanilla" built-from-source version of pidgin.  I have
 not tried to install a RHEL4-approved rpm.

 I will look at the source to see if there's an easy/obvious fix.  A
 suggestion would be welcome, since I'm not terribly familiar with
 libpurple or pidgin at that level (yet).
