Comment(by bleeter):

 Whilst we're working this and awaiting patches, etc., I'd suggest that
 anyone using OTR and Pidgin (and Adium) refrains from using OTR on
 Windows, OSX and a *nix windowed environment until such time as issues
 surrounding DBus, VNC, xwd et al can be resolved. If one wishes to reduce
 surface area of potential attack for Pidgin+OTR, seems the obvious thing
 to do is to help out with purple-otr (and use it with finch on, say, a
 Linux virtual terminal).
