 with "relay" level debugging and found this error among others after
 Pidgin (in Wine) vanished:

 called whenever i select any file, even before I confirm it is the file I
 want to actually load.  If I select png-1-width-800-height-2.png, I have
 the same issue and pidgin entirely crashes:

 the image to generate a thumbnail when you select the file.

 outstanding, as seems to be the evidence in bug #1452.

 Ahem, I meant bug #15282
