 I've got a Live account which I use with Pidgin 2.7.7 that people are
 supposed to be able to write to when using a web browser interface (like
 to one at http://www.lxcoach.uppsala.se/student.php). However, when the
 chat starts, the conversation is broken if both of the users are inactive
 for 60 seconds. This is a major nuisiance which renders Pidgin unusable
 when talking to people that are logged in through web browser interfaces.

 Running Empathy on Ubuntu doesn't cause this behaviour, neither does
 running Pidgin when chatting with users that are using clients which
 aren't a web interface (e.g. ordiniary Live Messenger, or Adium).


 EDIT:
 The problem is still present in Pidgin 2.7.9 on Windows 2003, so I'm
 fairly sure this issue can be narrowed down to Pidgin.
