Bug Description
nwp@mrsparkle:~$ pidgin
[xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue
[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
pidgin: ../../src/
Aborted (core dumped)
Happens while connections are still being made to servers. I have a couple of jabber accounts, one google talk, one facebook and possibly one skype account enabled. I don't think I have AOL or Yahoo accounts enabled (but can't open it up to check).
Wasn't happening yesterday - was working fine (have only tried it as empathy is currently impossibly slow & eats memory - over 1G resident). Could be problem after update yesterday? Or after killing pidgin remotely last night?
