This is maybe the "best" workaround for Pidgin

Just edit the file "/usr/share/applications/pidgin.desktop"
Add to the line "Exec=" the text "env NSS_SSL_CBC_RANDOM_IV=0"

This is my desktop file on 12.10:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Pidgin Internet Messenger
GenericName=Internet Messenger
Comment=Chat over IM.  Supports AIM, Google Talk, Jabber/XMPP, MSN, Yahoo and more
Exec=env NSS_SSL_CBC_RANDOM_IV=0 pidgin
Icon=pidgin
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Network;InstantMessaging;
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=pidgin
