 buddies menu is on(and show offline buddies is off), the buddy will not
 show even though I have it them set to do so with the showoffline plugin.
 Even if the group they are in has several online buddies.

 offline does not appear when no buddies in that group are online; I
 believe this was mentioned before and is due to Pidgin's behavior toward
 "empty" groups.  Stu may be able to shed more light on this, as it is his
 plugin.

 user regardless of the Show Empty Groups and Show Offline Buddies
 preferences.


 The buddy name (that are selected to always show) will not show up if you
 just start up Pidgin, but if you simply click on and off "show offline
 buddies" (the global one), then the buddy name will show up properly
 again. I tried the plugin on 2 computers using vista and XP and they both
 have the same behavior.
