 Libcairo crashes Pidgin on Windows on startup. This happens everytime.
 Only the Pidgin system tray icon is displayed. The Buddy List is not
 displayed at the time of the crash, which is abnormal. Now libcairo
 crashes everytime with 3.5.4 when starting Pidgin. I tried deleting the
 .purple directory under Application Data under my user directory. That
 didn't help, and neither did reinstalling 3.5.4. I have the latest GTK
 installed from the Pidgin 3.5.4 installer. 3.5.3 and the previous versions
 work fine.
