Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start pidgin with an abled account 2.Buddy list and Buddy ticker appear, but they are not sensitive. Pidgin loops in user mode 3. Actual results: Pidgin loops Expected results: Can talk with buddy Additional info:

Do you have nautilus-sendto plugin installed and loaded? This could be a duplicate of bug #496367
Yes. After removing nautilus-sendto (as described in bug #496367), my problems disappeared too.
