Comment (by xq00):

 Same problem here.
 Im using Pidgin 2.0.0 (Ubuntu 7.04, used the *.deb from getdeb.net for
 installing) too and it also crashs on starting. Sometimes, you've to add
 someone twice: he asks for authentication, you add him, then there's
 another auth. request and you've to add him again, otherwise he doesnt
 have auth.
 I tried to get a backtrace, dont know if it's what you need ;)
