It should but it doesn't..
This is my primary annoyance with Jabber. It happens to me all the time
that I see people online/offline when they aren't. The roster and the
'real' contactlist are out of sync a large part of the time. Especially
when my connection to jabber.org gets dropped these problems start to
appear. Of course I can notice that I only see Jabber people online so
in that case I either explicitly logoff from the MSN transport and then
logon again. When I do this I get the complete list of online users
again. If I do nothing I only get the updates which means that I only
see people online that came online after I reconnected to jabber.org
IMO the MSN transport should receive status information from jabber.org
telling it that my connection dropped. Apparently that doesn't happen.
