Done.

This bug should be kept open though, because the plugin not being enabled by
default with upgraded installations is a real problem. If Pidgin was using GConf
(not that I'm advocating using GConf in Pidgin), it could have a "default value"
for the key, which would mean the plugin would be enabled even if it was a new
installation.
