#16485: Pidgin Crashes Randomly When Dragging Windows

  Version:  2.10.11  |   Keywords:  glib win8 crash move window error
---------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 After having Pidgin running for some time (not easy to reproduce), it will
 crash when dragging a window to a new position on the screen.  I'm not
 sure exactly the minimum amount of time it needs to be running, but it
 could be > 8 hours (It usually happens when I wake up in the morning and
 check my backlog of messages).

 The log shows the following during the crash:

 ----------------------------------------

 Seems to be some sort of GLib error, but I don't know enough to guess at
 specifics.  I'm running Pidgin Portable (2.10.11) on Windows 8.1.
 Previously, it was running without problem on Windows 7, and I started
 noticing the crash when I moved the portable install over to my Win8.1
 system, so it may be related to something different in GLib on Win8/8.1,
 but I'm just guessing.
