Description Bob Cochran 2009-04-20 21:16:12 UTC
Description of problem:

When starting pidgin in Fedora 11, the GUI freezes up before I can complete entering my password for the AIM signon process. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

pidgin-2.5.5-1.fc11.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start pidgin by either clicking Applications --> Internet --> Internet Messenger or opening a terminal and running pidgin.
2. Attempt to connect to the AIM protocol by typing in the password for the desired screen name.
3. Observe that the gui window for the password locks up and does not allow one to complete typing in the password.
  
Actual results:

Cannot type in the password associated with a screen name in the pidgin password prompt window.

Expected results:

Ability to complete typing in the password at this prompt, and then successfully connecting to the AIM service.

Additional info:

I obtained this from running pidgin -d:
