To submit a crash report run from the command line «gdb /usr/bin/pidgin» and type «r» (for "run"). After the crash you'll be prompted to install many debug packages with a command, so run it to install them. Then run «gdb /usr/bin/pidgin» again, type «r» and wait for the crash and then type: «thread apply all bt full» and press enter a few times and send us the contents of the output. Also see: https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/TipsForBugReports Some other things to try: 1. Does the crash happen with pidgin in a new UNIX user account? 2. Does it happen on a minimalistic WM such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JWM ? 3. Does it happen in a new user in a minimalistic WM?
