Thanks for the bug report. I've added a pidgin task to this bug too. Can you please give me information about your architecture, language, versions of pidgin and gtk. Thanks in advance.

libgtk2.0-0 2.18.3-1ubuntu2

The problem also occurred with pidgin 1:2.6.2-1ubuntu7 in karmic so I don't think that is the problem. Any more info or other backtraces I can provide, let me know.
