Bug Description

Binary package hint: pidgin

When I attempted to create a new XMPP account, I tried to create one with a username that had spaces in it. Whenever I tried to enable the account, pidgin completely crashed without any fanfare. This happened everytime I tried to enable it. Later, I changed it so that I no longer have spaces in the account name, and had no trouble. The error reported was a Segmentation Fault.
