 Reporter:  climbjm       |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new           |   Priority:  minor 
Component:  pidgin (gtk)  |    Version:  2.2.0 
 Keywords:                |    Pending:  0     
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 I have PCLinuxOS 2007
 I installed via synaptic manager (from a repository)

 When I would launch pidgin, it would start to load then disappear.  I ran
 it in BASH with debug and I got the following:
