Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin
I will be using Pidgin throughout the day and it will vanish about 4-5 times. When I say vanish I mean all open chat windows, buddy list and even the icon in the status bar at the top of the screen.
I have run gdm on this however when pidgin vanished and I had to quit running pidgin to get back to the (gdb) line then the buddy list just appeared but was hanging in an unresponsive state. I got the backtrace and will attach it to this ticket.

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.
