Public bug reported:
After upgrading to a recent set of bits in raring, pidgin reliably hangs
on startup. This is a regression from 12.10.
To reproduce:
1) Launch pidgin
Expected results:
The Buddy List window loads a list of buddies (IRC channels in my case), and
pidgin opens a new chat window to auto-join a set of IRC channels
Actual results:
The Buddy List window is created but it's completely blank - there is no
content at all, not even the account status popup menu. The OS greys out the
Buddy List window. Pidgin is completely unresponsive.
GDB shows pidgin is hung in purple_gnome_proxy_get_parameter:
