Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

security vulnerability:	yes → no
visibility:	private → public

OK, It appears that you are running Jaunty so you may want to run the
update manager to check for updates for Pidgin. I have heard for other
users that the bug has been fixed. I do not use Pidgin i use Empathy but
by the mass ammount of comments that says it is fixed in #389322, i
think it is fixed :)
