Yes, but gNewSense 2.1 is based on 8.04, not 8.10, so it's pointless to
compare them.  To get your problem fixed in 8.04/gNewSense 2.1, the best
bet is to contribute your information to the Trac bug
(http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/6108), then file a Launchpad
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ bug that refers to the Trac bug.  Be sure to
note that it works in 8.10 .  If/when it is fixed in 8.04, it should
propogate to gNewSense 2.1.  If it ever works in 8.04 but /not/ 2.1,
that is a bug that gNewSense needs to fix.
