Comment(by rekabis):

 About the passwords: confirmed. I removed the accounts in the accounts.xml
 file one by one, re-introduced them afterwards, and have discovered one
 account in particular that is farking up my copy of Pidgin.

 I have changed the common characters, but the password (in terms of non-
 ascii characters) goes something like this:
 3æÈñ$

 It appears that UTF-8 support for this latest version appears to be a mite
 bit buggered where the passwords are concerned. This password worked with
 several previous "upgrades" of Pidgin without fail; why fail now? The
 account in question is not vital, but it would be nice to make use of it
 without having to resort to a standard ascii-based password (seeing as
 accounts made for this protocol are so easily hijacked). Being able to use
 a password with UTF-8 characters would ensure that my account on the
 protocol's servers remains difficult to hijack.
