New description:

 The gestures plugin can cause some funky crashes in g_slice code, which
 must be coming from inside gtk+ somewhere (gestures plugin doesn't use
 g_slice api directly). I've seen two different types of crashes:

 Scribble in a conversation window with the middle-mouse button (with
 gestures plugin enabled of course). Repeat 10 times or so. Sometimes I'll
 get a complete crash (process terminates, no backtrace with:
 {{{
 ***MEMORY-ERROR***: pidgin[12697]: GSlice: assertion failed:
 sinfo->n_allocated > 0
 }}}
 Other times, I can can close the conversation window. Open the
 conversation window again. Try and close it again, segfaults in
 g_slice_get_config() with various ugly backtraces. For example:

 {{{

 }}}

 I've tried pulling in updated code from libgstroke
 (http://www.etla.net/libstroke/) and munging it to get the gestures plugin
 to compile, but still get the same crashes.

 Seems pretty obscure, but thought I'd report it for the record.
