If I click on "Edit - Accounts" no window will show up, nor do I get an error. The file ~/.xsession-errors will contain the following errors for each attempt: GLib-GObject-WARNING **: instance with invalid (NULL) class pointer GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_data: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid unclassed pointer in cast to `GtkWindow' Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_window_present_with_time: assertion `GTK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed I can't reproduce it 100%, but it usually starts to occur when a connection error occurred for one of the accounts and this has been reported in the contact list accordingly.
