Other privacy leaks are voice support of "libjingle".
You have to compile Pidgin by self without voice support.

for Linux/Unix:

> ./configure --disable-screensaver --disable-gstreamer --disable-vv
--disable-idn --disable-meanwhile --disable-nm --disable-perl
--disable-tcl --disable-avahi

> make && make install

Seems, it works for me. Did not found a leak.

(sorry for two answer mails)

Hi Karsten,

Thanks. Is this an issue I would need to worry about if only using Pidgin for IRC with Tor? I'm on Windows and Ubuntu so I'll look into building on Windows, too.
