Bug Description

Binary package hint: pidgin

version 2.4.1 (03/31/2008):
        http://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.4.1

        libpurple:
        * Treat AIM Unicode messages as UTF-16 rather than UCS-2; this
          should have no functional effect, other than continued support
          on systems which have dropped UCS-2 conversions.
        * Add support for setting buddy icons on Gadu-Gadu (Tomasz Salacinski)
        * Fix a crash when clearing the buddy icon for an account on XMPP
        * Fix a crash during login for some ICQ accounts
        * Prefer more available resources on XMPP when priorities are equal
        * Fix incorrectly marking some Yahoo! contacts as blocked
        * Improved handling of UTF-8 group names on ICQ (beret)
        * Fix a crash when starting if you have a Zephyr account
        * Increase XMPP ping timeout to 120 seconds, to prevent poor network
          connections from timing out unnecessarily.
        * Don't crash on XMPP forms with empty default values.
        * Fix issues with CHAP authentication for SOCKS5 proxies.

        Pidgin:
        * Remove a workaround for older versions gstreamer that was causing
          crashes on some non-Linux systems such as HPUX
        * Fix some cases of the conversation input entry area being 1 pixel high
        * Fix for displaying channel & buddy names in conversation window when
          they have '&' in them
        * Some memory leak fixes, especially in the Text Replacement plugin
        * Rectangular but non-square buddy icons have rounded corners in the buddy
          list

        Finch:
        * Fix compiling with Glib older than 2.6
        * Ensure existing conversations selected from the 'Send IM' dialog are
          given focus
        * Move the tooltip on the left of the buddylist if there's not enough room
          on the right to show it.

This version fix all related bugs to segfault on hibernate/suspend, resize window, zypher crash, and some tray bugs reported.

I have the problem of Pidgin's annoying crash when resuming from Suspend, also. Pidgin's bug tracker indicate that it was really fixed (http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/5024) on 2.4.1. It would be a great advance for stability to have this included before Hardy final.

Anyway, Pidgin 2.4.1 is just a minor release containing only bug fixes, according to the changelog. Is a feature freeze exception really necessary for this?

It would fix #208784, crash when resuming from suspend.
I hope 2.4.1 makes it!
