Confirming the fix of setting "Tools -> Preferences -> Sounds -> No Sounds" in Pidgin for "random" crashes (after sending a message.. EVERY message). This only started happening after I purged config files following another annoying repeat crash bug, after receiving a message in a window that is out of focus. Seemed to occur more frequently if pidgin-libnotify was in use (Jaunty notifications). I'm quite sure it has something to do with pulseaudio now. I never liked that thing..
My crashes occured like this: Starting program: /usr/bin/pidgin [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread 0x7f886495a7d0 (LWP 18347)] [New Thread 0x7f8848b3f950 (LWP 18367)] I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE.
