New description:

 I have Pidgin 2.0.1 with the GTK it installs. If I leave Pidgin open for a
 while, the content area of the buddy window and all the chat window turns
 black and I cannot see anything. Only when I click with the mouse in the
 area, where are the menus, I will see the popup menu, but not the menu
 bar. I haven't found any way, how to restore the windows so that I can see
 the content. I have to quit pidgin and restart it. I tryied to cleanly
 reinstall it after uninstalling GTP and Pidgin itself and cleaning
 leftover files on the disk. It didn't help. This wasn't happening with
 2.0.0. This is happening constantly after a few minutes using Pidgin.
