Comment(by bleeter):
Please note that whilst the information on the leak is correct, I believe
the wrong 'product' has been labelled as the cause. Pidgin is the GTK UI
that sits above libpurple. After a cursory look across the code, I believe
any libpurple client using DBUS would also be exposed to this problem, not
just Pidgin. There are patches out there for OTR to work with Finch, I've
not tried it but I'd be surprised if it didn't have the same problem. Did
you test these and were you able to confirm it's ONLY in Pidgin?
Here's a quick list of other products using libpurple.
