pidgin crash when connect throu proxy

[Dyno]

Binary package hint: pidgin

1) modify my msn account to "Use GNOME Proxy Settings"
2) Tools -> Preference -> Network -> Proxy Server & Brower -> Configure Proxy -> Manual Proxy Configuration
3) enable/reconnect my msn account pidgin will crash.

it seems that pidgin is not compatible with the "Network Proxy" Preference Setting.

I am also receiving this issue. It even happens with a deleted .purple directory. Pidgin will refuse to load at all, when a global proxy is set for me.

uncheck use same setting for all proxy..
or don't fill in socks proxy this won't cause crash

[Andrew Gee (andrewgee)]

But what about if I want to use the global proxy settings, Biji?
