Comment (by derek.che):

 I'm running a ubuntu 13.10 with latest update, but still saw a lot of
 pidgin zombies (20+) spawned, could you verify if this glib version and
 pidgin version already has the fix? Is this same #15617 issue or a
 different one?

  mint ~ # dpkg -l |grep libglib
  ii  libglib2.0-0:amd64                    2.38.0-1ubuntu1
 amd64        GLib library of C routines
  mint ~ # dpkg -l |grep pidgin
  ii  pidgin                                1:2.10.7-0ubuntu4.1
 amd64        graphical multi-protocol instant messaging client for X
  mint ~ # dpkg -l |grep libpurple
  ii  libpurple0                            1:2.10.7-0ubuntu4.1
