Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin
Trying to connect to MSN using Pidgin 2.5.0 on Hardy, I get a warning: "Accept certificate for login.live.com? The root certificate this one claims to be issued by is unknown to Pidgin." Clicking on "View Certificate..." however neglects to tell me who this root CA is. All it shows is the "common name", SHA1 fingerprint, and dates of activation and expiry.

Agreed. Pidgin is asking me to decide whether to accept a root certificate based on insufficient information. Useless. I'm attaching an example, which appeared today when connecting to google talk.
