I have the same problem as of today........

I have been running Intrepid since alpha..... and updated it regularly (only security updates and intrepid recommended updates ).

I have:

 - 1 ym login
 - 2 msn logins

Since today 1 msn login didn't work, with the error: Unable to retrieve MSN Address Book
Interestingly it didn't work for this account both at my work's workstation, and at home. Both pidgin on Intrepid. (why would i have this on one msn account only?...)

Well, so i tried to restart pidgin..... but now it doesn't open...... In the shell I get the error:

Gtk:ERROR:/build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.14.4/gtk/gtktreestore.c:531:gtk_tree_store_get_path: assertion failed: (G_NODE (iter->user_data)->parent != NULL)

I see the pidgin window appear, and it gets killed after 2 seconds.

When i move .purple to .purple.bak, pidgin works....... So it's something wrong with files in there...

See backtraces attached......
