Comment 7 for bug 971613

This isn't fixed/released afaict, and the workaround doesn't function anymore.

Oddly, this was functional on Friday, it's only having done an apt-get upgrade that this has resurfaced.

clockwerx@clockwerx-laptop:~/uofa/res_prof$ pidgin
The program 'Pidgin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
  (Details: serial 37 error_code 1 request_code 154 minor_code 19)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

ERROR: Caught a segmentation fault while loading plugin file:
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstclutter.so

Please either:
- remove it and restart.
- run with --gst-disable-segtrap --gst-disable-registry-fork and debug.
