Hi,
anyone still having this issue? If so, which version of ubuntu and pidgin are you using now?

Please also attach a fresh backtrace by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace.
Also explain what happens and what should happen and steps to reproduce.

Thanks in advance

I was using Kubuntu 8.10 when I had this problem but problem got fixed when I installed ubuntu-desktop packages.

I had the same issue.

Hi again,

I expected that all attachements were included in my last comment. I did not know how to include them here, so I created a new bug (I know it is duplicated to this one), but at least you have more details about the issue. The new bug I created is:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/391187

Hoping this will help.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Do you get the same with Lucid or Maverick? Thanks in advance.
