Due to a crash and several problems with pidgin and a Skype4b session i issues a bug #2072005 and received a lot of updates. Thanks, but now pidgin does not start anymore.  I am receiving these messages from the console:

1."Failed to load pk-gtk-module" that could be resolved after following these steps https://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?325790-What-is-the-pk-gtk-module
2. "Exiting because another libpurple client is already running."  well this could not be true after i restarted my computer!

There must be a problem with one plugin. I deinstalled everything (via dnf) perform a reboot and a dnf update and then .. installed pidgin and pidgin-sipe. After all pidgin started again.
