New description:

 For a number of minor release versions, now, I've been running into
 situations where pidgin will start misbehaving after days of uptime.

 - New conversations will result in messages <paraphrase>"logging failed
 for this conversation"</paraphrase>.

 - Clicking on urls in chats will result in <paraphrase>xdg-open failure:
 no more resources</paraphrase>

 - Reconnection failures to various xmpp networks (gmail, dreamhost-ed
 jabber).

 I don't have compelling evidence, except looking at the following just
 before restarting pidgin, just now:

 before restart:

 Sorry it's not a very well-formed bug report, but please let me know
 if/what to capture the next time I encounter the problem.  It's reliably
 repeatable, but on a long time span (5+ days).

 But I've been seeing this presently with 2.6.3, but I believe I saw it
 with both 2.5.8 and 2.5.9 at least, as well.
