I sent a message a few days ago, but it got lost in a moderation 
process. The problem is probably that Privoxy is only a web proxy, not 
SOCKS5 proxy and doesn't "understand" Gajim.
Is it a probable reason in your opinion?

I have also attached a dump. It stops after 5 packets (packet 6 in a 
dump was triggered by closing Gajim).
