I have tried the authentication mechanisms offered, and ran into
problems as follows :

- both ends pidgin-2.5.2
- both ends OTR 3.2.0

Tried authenticate via "question and answer" :
- initiated question
- window showed "waiting for buddy"
- talked on the phone with my buddy. he answered the question, his
window showed the same message
- nothing happened

Tried authenticate via "shared secret":
- initiated question
- window showed "waiting for buddy"
- my buddy did not get any request to type the shared secret.

Tried authenticate via "manual fingerprint" and we talked over the phone.
The dropdown worked and now we are authenticated.
But the first 2 methods didn't seem to work.
