Comment (by Iyeru):

 Replying to [comment:135 nodashi]:
 > I've patched current version of pidgin (2.4.0) with a following way:
 >
 > 1. Add a checkbox into a "Conversation" page of Preferences dialog to
 implement /conversations/old_style_height parameter
 >
 > 2. Depending on this checkbox, input area in a conversation window may
 be auto-resized as in a current release, or takes fixed size with a handle
 and can be resized. When conversation closed, new size stored in a
 configuration file.

 Can we have a more non-coder friendly "Modification" text file as well?
 Some people are not always used to having see the SVN Style Replacements.
 Also, will the patch work with windows?
