Bug Description
After upgrading to a recent set of bits in raring, pidgin reliably hangs on startup. This is a regression from 12.10.
To reproduce:
1) Launch pidgin
Expected results:
The Buddy List window loads a list of buddies (IRC channels in my case), and pidgin opens a new chat window to auto-join a set of IRC channels
Actual results:
The Buddy List window is created but it's completely blank - there is no content at all, not even the account status popup menu. The OS greys out the Buddy List window. Pidgin is completely unresponsive.
GDB shows pidgin is hung in purple_
