Ubunutu Gutsy - Pidgin window won't show

[Kevin Stokes]

  Hi,
    I had Pidgin installed and working fine on my system.   Now it won't
come up any more.  Down on the task bar it says 'Starting Pidgin Internet
Messenger', and then it just goes away and I have no pidgin window.   I
tried a complete uninstall with Synaptic and a re-install, but still no
luck.    In the System Monitor/processes view it is there sleeping.

   How can I fix this?   Is there a log file to look at?

-Thanks
-Kevin
