Comment 20 for bug 354272

Are you at all familiar with building something from source and applying patches. It looks like there's a patch that can potentially fix this, but I don't have a system that I would build a patch for. That could potentially make you want to kill me.

If this patch does fix the issue, then I can try to push it to Ubuntu. Otherwise there's some debugging we can do with pidgin that will royally suck - but will also give the developers significantly more to go on.

It's your choice, try to apply an existing patch for a bug that is very close or exactly the same as what you're experiencing, or try to do more in depth debugging.
