 Sometimes internet is going down for several seconds. This might be caused
 by ADSL changing IP numbers or someone stomping on a network cable
 somewhere. May be buggy WiFi tends to disappear and reappear once a while.
 Or maybe pidgin is running on GPRS cellphone, and the user just entered
 into elevator or a tunnel (losing internet connectivity for several
 seconds).

 In any case, it might be useful if pidgin would be able to "silently"
 attempt to reconnect (probably showing "toaster" notification) to the
 failed service, and alert user about unability to reconnect only after
 couple of attemps *and* couple of minutes.

 Of course, all contacts would becomed inavailable after the very first
 error.
