 Hi all,

 When I insert a long url in my GTalk account to a GTalk contact it crashes
 instantly my pidgin with this error :

 {{{
 The program 'pidgin' received an X Window System error.
 This probably reflects a bug in the program.
 The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
   (Details: serial 29741 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
   (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
    To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
    option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
    backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()
 function.)
 }}}

 Just for tests I try to insert a "data" link like
 '''data:text/html;base64,{the data in base64}'''. The link is more that
 6000 chars.
 I try to repeat this error and unfortunately it made my pidgin crashes
 each time.

 The error don't occurred in a jabber account but only if I talk on GTalk
 but my contact can't see the link because it's too long (I presume GTalk
 is more restrict for that).

 I use Pidgin 2.6.2 (libpurple 2.6.2) on an updated Ubuntu 9.10.

 Best regards,
 gren
