Title:
  pidgin crashed with SIGSEGV in g_type_check_instance_cast()

Status in pidgin package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This happens *very* predictably.  Steps to reproduce:

  Install Pidgin and use the libnotify plugin with Unity (5.8 at current
  release).

  Have tabbed conversations.  Attempt to close conversation window.

  The window's contents "blank out" - just show the background window
  grey color with window borders.  One must hit the "X" again to
  actually close the window.

  After about 5 seconds, Pidgin becomes unresponsive, then goes away.
  Then apport takes over.

  I've never seen this problem WITHOUT the libnotify plugin being
  active; however, without this plugin, the message indicator (blue
  envelope) doesn't catch any notifications from Pidgin, and that's kind
  of important to me.
