Old description:

> In pidgin 2.5.2 (I refuse to upgrade to 2.5.3, as that newer version does
> not exit properly for me, see http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/7849 for
> details, although I believe that this problem has not been solved in
> 2.5.3), my settings for "set me to invisible after X minutes of being
> idle" does not hold through restarts of the program.
>
> I have moved my .purple folder to a network location using the
> environment variable (which seems to be working just fine).  I can see in
> the XML files that my setting changes to "invisible" (int 1230441770 on
> line 33 of prefs.xml) when I ask it to, but then reverts to 1230443925
> after I close pidgin.

> I looked but could not find any other tickets with this problem.  If you

New description:

 > Hmm, except now I can't reproduce it. *grumbles and re-sets it to
 pending in the hopes original reporter will be able to*
