pidgin uses 100% cpu and hangs when xserver crashed instead just quiting

[LimCore]

After my X session died (forcing me out to login box of my WM) (nvidia related bug?)
then pidgin did not quit like other applications
but keep running using 100% cpu

This seems like a bug in pidgin, but perhaps in Xorg libs?

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? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.

May be a duplicate of Bug #218439 if there was a xmpp session that was disconnected because of network-manager end with the session.

[LimCore (limcore)]

This problem occured for me on 8.10 as well.

Yes, protocol is XMPP.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]
