Pidgin Bug – Won’t Open After It’s Closed to the Sys Tray (Windows)

By Randy Jensen | Aug 26, 2007

Well, I’ve now experienced my first bug in Pidgin. I don’t think however that it is actually a problem with Pidgin itself because I didn’t notice any trouble until I enabled the “Windows Pidgin Options” Plugin.

Basically, I have it setup so when I ‘x’ out of the program, it goes to my sys tray and keeps running in the background. Today I closed it out and then was trying to get it back open, but it just sat there.

Once I forced quit, it seemed to work for a couple times, but then died again. I’ve since restarted and it now seems to be working fine.

Anyone else having this problem?

It just happened again. I disabled the Windows Pidgin Option plugin and restarted Pidgin. I’ll keep ya posted if that was the issue or not.

I’ve been able to finally see what’s going on with the program. It seems to randomly start to hang and the buddy list won’t show up. I’ve disabled all plugins to see if one of them was causing the problem.

Found the bug…apparently it’s the Guifications plugin that keeps locking it up. So……don’t follow this post
