Comment:
Additionally:
GTK+ 2.18.x is nowhere near ready for us to use on Windows.
This issue isn't something that would cause anything worse than a buggy
plugin to crash on the Windows version of Pidgin, there are no security
implications that I'm aware of.
The "security vulnerability" part was related to the fact that you could
cause gnome-screensaver to crash and allow access to the desktop.
