This happened to me suddenly this morning (after resuming from standby) when starting Pidgin. The message differs trivially from those above:

% pidgin

I am running Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.02 LTS. What other debugging data would be useful?

From this forum thread[1], I gather that the problem goes away after a while. Any idea how to trigger this improvement?
