after stracing pidgin, I found out a damaged ~/.gnome2/nautilus-
sendto/pidgin_buddies_online file was reported as "stale NFS file
handle" - I never used nfs on this machine.
A fsck of my /home partition made the damaged file -- and the suspected
bug -- go away, pidgin works.
excuses for having wasted anyones time on this one.
