Comment:

 I am usually away from the computer when the windows show up, but I
 sometimes get a few of them while at the computer. This problem has
 appeared when joining another place with the same username, but not
 exclusively - Error windows sometimes appear only once in a whole day. I
 have set the chat room to auto-join and persistent. This happens on
 conference.jabber.org. I'll try capturing the debug window and see if it
 happens again.

 On the subject of bogging down GNOME, I'm not asking for a fix of GNOME.
 But Pidgin controls the windows it creates, and should be able to do
 something to ensure it doesn't spawn hundreds of identical windows. How
 about incrementing an error counter in the window if it already exists? Or
 creating an error window only if an identical one doesn't already exist?

 Yes, I'm using my Gmail account for chat.
