unable to close/hide pidgin IRC channel list, renders all pidgin windows useless

[mejo]

Hello,

When I open the list of channels for an IRC server in pidgin (with IRC helper plugin enabled), pidgin behaves very strange:

The channellist-window stays on top (I'm unable to select other pidgin windows), and pidgin doesn't react any longer. In case that a channel is open in pidgin, this channel is still updated (i.e. messages are still displayed), but I'm unable to change to another channel tab or close any open pidgin window, even not the channellist-window. Only the menu in top panel (unity) is responsive, the pidgin windows themself aren't. Neither the close/minimize/maximize buttons, nor any other buttons do react. I'm even unable to write in a chat window.

This renders all pidgin windows useless. Only solution is to close pidgin over the menu (Buddys -> Beenden), and start it again.
