Comment(by PhobosK):

 BTW for users that experience the described problem there is a dirty
 workaround that can be implemented via a script (and depending on the
 implementation probably you will need a small change in the /etc/sudoers
 file):

 You need to restart NM first: '''sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager
 restart'''
 And then run Pidgin: '''pidgin'''
