#6701: Pidgin for Windows bundles a borked version GTK
----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------

Milestone: | Component: winpidgin (gtk)
Version: 2.5.0 | Resolution: duplicate
Keywords: gtk buddy list save dialog |

Comment(by elfprince13):
obscure crashes really shouldn't take priority over basic UI
functionality. and if you want to make judgement calls like that, at least
have the courtesy to
a) warn people ahead of time that installing the update will break basic
functionality instead of telling that Pidgin might not work if they don't
upgrade a minor version.
b) that it will break for every GTK app on their system OR have Pidgin
keep its own version of GTK, just like the GIMP does. not ideal, but at
least it won't screw up the usability of 9 other apps.
