Binary package hint: pidgin

Authorization request from ICQ spammers made my contact list window to
grow by in width. It stoped when it was with 3 desktop sizes width. But
the worst is that i can't resize it to it's normal size.


Maye it is possible to break work with Pidgin by remote attacker with infinite 
long authorisation request
