connection dies

[M]

I have pidgin configured with tor settings, and i can see that it is
connected in the network map. However, if i leave my acct online for a few
hours, it does not appear on the network map. Actually no connections appear
if i have not been surfing. I have to manually log off from my acct on
pidgin and then log in again, and then i see it forming new connections and
then it connects to my acct  again.

How does the pidgin stay logged in to my acct when i dont see any
connections on tor!?
