 Hello ---

 Similar results as above posts; problem appears to be deeper though.  I'm
 running Pidgin 2.2.2 on an old Dell laptop, Windows 2000 SP 4, fully
 patched.  Just attached my most recent pidgin.rpt.  I ran numerous tests
 but still can't pin down cause of crash.

 For my setup though, it doesn't seem to matter whether any Pidgin windows
 are onscreen or minimized.  It also doesn't seem to matter if any plugins
 are enabled or not.  Please see below.  Please also see munged screen
 print of my enabled accounts, at

 hope you don't mind looking at Angelina Jolie as Grendel's mother ... ;)]

 I started with eight enabled plugins [each plugin is version 2.2.2]:

 1. Conversation Colors

 2. ExtPlacement

 3. Message Notification

 4. Message Timestamp Formats

 5. Pidgin GTK+ Theme Control

 6. Release Notification

 7. Transparency

 8. Windows Pidgin Options

 Disabled each in order, one by one.  Closed Pidgin and restarted to test.
 Closed and restarted _again_.  Basically, I tried to apply the same
 methodology described 07/09/2007 08:03:41 PM by bar-schottky for ticket
 1878 [http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/1878].

 Time stamps are 24-hout format, Pacific standard time.  These should tie
 out to my attached pidgin.rpt.  Here are the test results:

 1. Conversation Colors  1656 disabled plugin; crashed on first close. 1657
 restarted; plugin still disabled.  1658 crashed on second close.

 2. ExtPlacement  1659 restarted; disabled plugin; crashed on first close.
 1702 restarted; plugin still disabled.  1703 crashed on second close.

 3. Message Notification  1704 restarted; disabled plugin; crashed on first
 close.  1706 restarted; plugin still disabled.  1707 crashed on second
 close.

 4. Message Timestamp Formats  1709 restarted; disabled plugin.  1710 did
 not see a Dr. Watson dialog on first close, but I was typing in another
 window and something flashed quickly so maybe it did crash and one of my
 keystrokes acknowledged the dialog box and made it go away before I could
 read it.  1711 restarted; plugin still disabled.  1712 crashed on second
 close.  1714 restarted; plugin still disabled.  1715 crashed on third
 close.

 5. Pidgin GTK+ Theme Control  1716 restarted; disabled plugin.  1717
 crashed on first shutdown.  1718 restarted; plugin still disabled.  1718
 crashed on second close.

 6. Release Notification  1719 restarted; received AIM and ICQ 'frequency
 disconnect' errors.  1722 disabled plugin.  1723 crashed on first close.
 1723 restarted; plugin still disabled.  1724 crashed on second close.

 7. Transparency  1725 restarted; disabled plugin.  1726 crashed on first
 close.  1727 restarted; plugin still disabled.  1728 crashed on second
 close.

 8. Windows Pidgin Options  1730 restarted; disabled plugin; crashed on
 first close.  1731 restarted; plugin still disabled; all plugins now
 disabled.  1732 crashed on second close.

 1735 Did screenprint of active/inactive accounts.

 1736 Crashed on close.

 1737 Closed Opera and Windows Explorer.

 1738 Restarted Pidgin; all plugins still disabled.

 1739 Crashed on close.

 1740 Shutdown system [cold reboot].

 1744 System startup/housekeeping.

 1747 Pidgin started automatically.

 1750 All plugins still disabled; crashed on first close.

 1752 Restarted Pidgin; all plugins still disabled; enabled all accounts
 except for sametime.

 1755 Did screenprint of active/inactive accounts.

 1756 Crashed on second close.

 1758 Restarted Pidgin.  This time I left the IRC chat panel ["freenode-
 connect"] onscreen instead of closing or minimizing it, and I opened the
 buddy list and left it open and onscreen instead of closing or minimizing
 it.  So, both Pidgin windows are open and onscreen, not minimized.

 1801 Crashed on third close.

 1802 Gave up on further tests and appended here.

 I also searched the ticket database several ways.  Here are the searches
 that returned one or more results.  Maybe it will help to tie all these
 similar bug reports together somehow:

 Hope all this helps.  Out of ideas for now ~
