 I have serious problems to start pidgin on ubuntu-hardy (Version:
 1:2.5.2-0ubuntu1~hardy1).

 The problem occour only wenn my eth0 is bridged over:

 {{{
 $brctl show
 bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
 br0             8000.001b38ec5836       no              eth0
 }}}

 if I restart eth0 without br0, pidgin works as spected.

 I'm posting a video of the problem, since I can not describe it in words!
 It seems in the video as if the whole Desktop would jitter, but for a
 human eye, in real-time, the pidgin login window does jitter.

 Please ask for straces, configurations, etc.

 Thanks and greats.

Comment:

 I'm about 99.9% certain this isn't our fault and there's nothing we can do
 about it, given that killing !NetworkManager fixes it.
