Public bug reported:
I have the Xchat-chats plugin active and an IRC account active. Once my
account has been set and a few channels added, if I restart Pidgin it
won't start.
Starting pidgin from command line shows:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ pidgin
GtkVBox

Segmentation fault
Starting with the debug option ((only last few lines shown):

To disable the Xchats-chat plugin, I had to start pidgin in "offline" mode,
using:
pidgin -n
Restarting Pidgin without Xchat-chats and going back online resumed
normal operation.
Debian's changelog mentions "stability updates" in the latest version so
this problem may go away when we sync with upstream... see Bug #198070.
