pidgin crashes on a first message from an icq contact after I use the plugins configuration window

[nicodeem]

Binary package hint: pidgin

Ubuntu release: 10.10 Maverick Meerkat

After I do some configuration work in plugins window and close that window, Pidgin would simply disappear (crash, but without error messages) when an icq contact sends me a message. It just closes itself.

Maybe this will help too: I had Empathy installed and configured, but not open, when this problem happened.

Second: the icq user, who was sending me messages to test was using QiP messenger.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. Ubuntu 10.10 is no longer supported so I'm going to close this bug.
