Please attach the output of pidgin -d, and pgrep pidgin.

What window manager are you running? What is $DISPLAY set to? Can you
start any other X applications from the same terminal?

I'm running metacity

hikaru:~echo $DISPLAY
:0.0

I can start xterm, for example.

What does xwininfo -tree -root | grep -i pidgin say? What if you move
your ~/.purple directory out of the way and try again?

Nothing if pidgin is not running. Otherwise:

hikaru:~xwininfo -tree -root | grep -i pidgin
 0x3a00045 Buddy List: (pidgin Pidgin)  262x181+0+0  +0+0
 0x3a1 Pidgin: (pidgin Pidgin)  10x10+10+10  +10+10
  0x3a00020 Pidgin: (pidgin Pidgin)  22x30+0+0  
+3295+-31

After removing ~/.purple I get a pop up window Accounts with two entries,
one for IRC and one for msn (that I added in the past with gaim, I think).
However, there seems to be no way to do anything with the MSN one.
If I click it twice, I get the Modify Account pop-up. If I click
the 'enable' field instead then I get a Pidgin popup saying
Enter password for If I do that and click Ok, nothing happens.
If I close the Accounts window, we're back where we started: with
pidgin on the commandline doing nothing and no open windows.

I ran pidgin again, it then pops up the MSN password window
immediately, I enter some password (I'm afraid I forgot which/what
it was) and click ok... the window disappears and that's it.
