Having pidgin not showing the buddy listing window.

[Alex Cheung]

I am on ubuntu 7.10 (I believe), running pidgin 2.2.1.

My pidgin was working flawlessly until one day, I can't seem to see the main window anymore.  The process is still there, others can start IM'ing me.  But there is no window for the group/buddies listing, the connection management...etc.

Is this a known issue somewhere?  How do I resolve this?

thanks in advance.
