Title:
  Pidgin freezes when generating new OTR private key

Status in Off-the-Record Messaging plugin for pidgin:
  Invalid
Status in pidgin package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in pidgin-otr package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: pidgin

  Package: pidgin-otr (Intrepid) 3.2.0-1
  Version of Ubuntu: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid)
  Systems used: AMD XP 3200+, 1 GB DDR, 160 GB HDD running Ubuntu 8.10
                           HP dv9500t laptop, 2.0 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 2 GB DDR, 160 GB HDD running of Ubuntu 8.10 LiveCD

  When I enable the pidgin-otr plugin and attempt to generate a new
  private key, Pidgin pops up a dialog box telling me that a new private
  key is being generated. However, key generation never completes and
  eventually I receive a notification that Pidgin or "Generating Private
  Key" is not responding. I have attempted to generate keys for both a
  XMPP (GMail Account) and an AIM account with the same result, and have
  repeated the process on both systems multiple times.

  I have successfully generated keys using the same version of OTR on
  Windows XP SP3 on the HP dv9500t laptop.
