Bug Description

Hi all,
          I installed Hardy i386 (Final) yesterday and was playing around for a while before starting my actual productive work. In this time I used Pidgin lot of times for all the chatting activities. From today morning Pidgin is freezing without leaving any error message. I ran it from terminal to see if it gives some error message but no message as such. One thing I remember doing on it is that I installed Guifications and Music Tracker plugins on it and enabled them. Is this problem because of that?? If so please tell me how to disable them for a while till these bugs are fixed, because I cannot live without Pidgin.

Thanks in advance.

Its not possible to reproduce this for me with a new account. I am sorry. I
tried deleting the .purple directory. Then it works fine without any
problem. I think this probably because of the GUIfications or Music tracker
plugin.
