GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 130126
Hang if server not available
Last modified: 2005-06-26 12:46:54 UTC
Gossip just hang on the startup for some minutes (the space is added in the notify area but the icon not drawned and the interface in hanged) if the server doesn't response. I had this behaviour with jabber.org today, and seems to act in the same way if the server IP is set to a machine where the port is blocked (with a firewall for example).
