Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin
Ubuntu 8.04 amd64, Pidgin 2.4.1. Since last pidgin update, file transfers regularly lock the entire computer up - Only mouse and sounds working, ignores clicks/keyboard, unable to reboot x or do anything else.
This is pretty important since it isn't possible to disable file transfers in pidgin, anyone could send files in hope to crash the target. I suppose it doesn't happen to alot of people, but still..
