Bug Description

Binary package hint: pidgin

Sometimes (typically when minimizing a chat window), Pidgen freezes my entire system - won't respond to anything, even power button. Leaving it for a few minutes doesn't make a difference. The only way to restart is to remove the laptop battery. Freezes happen every 2-4 days, so they're hard to reproduce on demand.

Running Natty on an HP TX2 with ATI graphics. Using the Ubuntu Classic Desktop (no effects) option from GDM. 3D programs like Flightgear run with no problem.

Changed in pidgin (Ubuntu):
