I'm experiencing the same problem
However, I'm using the "Modern Bubbling" theme.
I've opened Pidgin with the -d option and it gave me following output while crashing :

I get this error; fortunately, many themes that I like are working fine right now, but in the future?
I think the solution is a better coding.
I emailed desperately (lol) Simo, to make him return to develop this amazing interface, let's see if he accepts :)
