[Adium-devl] Problems With Storing Info. for Contact

[Evan Schoenberg]

Run a current Adium subversion build in Debug or Deployment-Debug  
mode,and check for Console logging after setting a contact's info and  
then quitting and restarting.  Do you get any output? One condition  
which could do as you describe would be if an object which isn't valid  
for a plist were set as a preference, and this would log in current  
builds.

Cheers,
Evan
