Thank you badlop for your response, it is much appreciated.

I have come across a solution. I do not understand at this point how it is a solution, however, it is.

The solution is the set the Proxy Type under Proxy Options to No Proxy.
This option is found in Pidgin under Accounts>(username)>Edit Account>Advanced Tab

After changing this option, our ad-hoc commands appear almost instantly.

I installed Pidgin 2.4.0

I installed Pidgin 2.4.0 (Debian package), and logged in an admin account in a local ejabberd 2.0.0 server.

I am curious: where should the ad-hoc commands appear? I waited 25 minutes, looked in all menus but didn't find anything about the announce commands: in Buddies, in Accounts->my account, Tools ... ?

Anyway, I don't understand how can such a strange problem happen; this is the first time I read about it.

You can also try other Jabber clients for administering the server: Psi, Tkabber or Gajim for example.

Offtopic: if you installed ejabberd using the binary installers from Process-one website, then you don't need to install Erlang/OTP because it is already included. Anyway, I think this isn't related to your problem.
