#6575: Logging issues when PURPLEHOME is set to a network directory

 To keep my files organized, I save everything to one folder on my primary
 computer, with other systems using environment variables to save and load
 to an alternate location. As I'm not using the program on more than one
 computer at any time, this isn't a problem. However, if that network
 connection is lost (such as due to a power surge that briefly knocks the
 router offline or a laptop unexpectedly going into hibernation), any
 further attempts to write files are silently discarded. This results in
 any logged conversations or changes to the buddy list being lost.

 Is there some way Pidgin cache those lost writes and then, upon
 reconnecting to the remote folder, save everything? This way, in the event
 of a glitch, no file information is lost.
