Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.  Ubuntu 10.10 is no longer
supported so I'm going to close this bug.

Title:
  Pidgin seems to crash (or vanish) randomly

Status in pidgin package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: pidgin

  I will be using Pidgin throughout the day and it will vanish about 4-5
  times.  When I say vanish I mean all open chat windows, buddy list and
  even the icon in the status bar at the top of the screen.

  I have run gdm on this however when pidgin vanished and I had to quit
  running pidgin to get back to the (gdb) line then the buddy list just
  appeared but was hanging in an unresponsive state.  I got the
  backtrace and will attach it to this ticket.
