pidgin hangs with no reaction after login to gg

[Piotr Kujawski]

Hi.
My pidgin hangs (window greyed, no reaction) just after activating my gadygadu account.

Using 12.04. I synced the package list on another 12.04 machine, synced the ~/.purple directory, on the other machine pidgin is not crashing, staring as usual. I have a long user list >100 user.

Some days ago i started pidgin with 'strace', it started without hang! I tried without 'strace', it hangs. Now starting with strace does not help.

This bug is still present in Pidgin 2.10.6 (libpurple 2.10.6) on 12.10. Earlier i have reduced my gg contacts list and pidgin was stable. The bug hit me again now. I reduces the user list by some but it does not help. I can switch off all accounts in the xml file, pidgin will start but hand again as soon as i enable the gg account.

Is anyone readling this?

I downgraed now the packages:
libpurple0_2.10.3-0ubuntu1.1_i386.deb
libpurple-bin_2.10.3-0ubuntu1.1_all.deb

from precise, it fixed the issue.
