Comment (by egil):

 Blush..... Yes, at least in my case. Easy to discover via a "ps -a".
 Thanks.

 It never occurred to me that this could be the problem. There was no trace
 of its window anywhere on the screen (as far as I could see). Killing the
 existing process and starting pidgin over again worked nicely.

 A few notes, then:

 I. It still says "libnm_glib_nm_state_cb: dbus returned an error". It may
 be ok, but it sort of does not send the signal that all is well in the
 case pidgin fails (Normally I would start pidgin not frmo the command
 line, so this message is hidden. When you start to investigate and start
 from the command line and see this message you wonder whats up)

 2. If there is another instance, it would have been nice of pidgin to
 actually say so instead of just dieing. imho
