 Every time I open Pidgin I get this error sayin that there was an error
 reading blist.xml.  This is also included in the error window: An error
 was encountered reading your buddy list.  They have not been uploaded and
 the old file has been renamed to C:\Users\.....\blist.xml~.
 I have no idea what the exact reason for this is.  I even tried
 uninstalling and reinstalling the application again.  Is there a way to
 fix this?  I have read from a former ticket that it is due to some error
 in a code.  Is there anything I can do to reverse this?
