 Also present in version 2.4.1. I have an ICQ, MSN and Jabber (gmail)
 account in Pidgin.
 When I focus in to the contact list and try to type some letter to quickly
 jump to a contact, i.e. I type MAR to jump to Mark, pidgin freezes
 immediatelly after the first letter has been typed. No matter what letter,
 even if there is no match (i.e. nobody beginning on X in your CL), but you
 type x -> you get a 5 sec freeze. Happens on 3 different computers, 3
 different ICQ accounts. I haven't tried more, but suppose it is present on
 everybody's machine with pidgin installed. Oh, and I have Windows XP SP2,
 GTK shipped with 2.4.2.
