Hi Leonardo.  That's a bit odd.  So it crashes immediately after
starting it?  You can try starting it by running "pidgin -n" from a
command line, this will prevent your accounts from connecting
immediately.  Then you can connect each account one at a time and see
if one of them is causing a problem.  You can also try starting with
"pidgin -d" and looking at the output before Pidgin crashes.  You may
also want to try disabling any 3rd party plugins or accounts.  If it's
still crashing feel free to file a new ticket at
http://developer.pidgin.im/newticket  And please include a backtrace
from the crash.  There is information on obtaining a backtrace here:

Thanks,
