Comment(by GinoMan2440):

 This bug has been outstanding for the past 5 months, and it's really
 getting on my nerves. I'm already not a fan of GTK and Gnome based
 programs so not that anyone here cares, but this isn't improving my
 opinions of those libraries. This is ridiculous for an open source project
 and if I had the debugging and programming experience and expertise, I'd
 fix it myself and provide a patch. this needs to be fixed... like 4 months
 3 weeks ago. This bug should be at the top of the list for 2.5.7. if there
 is any authoritative personnel here, they need to see to it that this bug
 is priority number 1 because pidgin is rendered nearly unusable by it.
 Thank you.
