Comment (by Kalex):

 I've just tried to change my buddy icon and it seems Pidgin has written
 one more incorrect entry in the prefs file:


 {{{
 <pref name='buddyicon' type='path'/>
 }}}

 This may be caused by me having my avatars stored on a Windows FAT32
 partition with the directory filename containing national characters.
