Comment:

 I agree with nosnilmot; I don't think this is a Pidgin bug at all.
 Whatever the URL handler is should either be passing the cyrillic directly
 through to firefox (where it can do IDN-alize it) or IDN-alizing it itself
 if it thinks it knows how.  Our internal URL handler does nothing but
 shell-escape its argument, which would not affect it in the above manner,
 but executing {{{gnome-open 'http://www.сватбата.com/'}}} behaves as
 described above.

 I think this should to to upstream.  Sean?
