Comment (by Sim-on):

 i only want to highlight some issues, which does not seem to be clear for
 everyone:
 ----
 '''1. There is a Plugin (#5296) and another pidgin-Version called
 "[http://sourceforge.net/projects/funpidgin/ funpidgin]" where auto-
 resizing is disabled. And you are free to use them or reinstall
 [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=235&package_id=230234&release_id=559922
 2.3.1].
 '''
 ----
 2. We recognizes all criticism and we will try to realise them. So one of
 the main arguments against this issue in 2.4.0 was, that e.g. code-
 developers weren't able to send/format correct long messages, because the
 maximum height of 4 lines was to small. '''The maximum changed in 2.4.1.
 to half of the window-size.''' We changed this according to YOUR
 desires.[[BR]][[BR]]
 3. Now people complain that 2 lines minimum is too small and that this
 doesn't look nice. Furthermore it is much more difficult to click in the
 input-area for a new message and/or to focus the window. So i already
 heard developers thinking about changing this, too. Would this help you?
