I had this bug occur in a new situation: while watching a video. I had gone idle, since my idle reporting is X-input-based, but I was able to see the bug occur because VLC was blocking the screensaver.

I already had a leftover message window open with buddy A, and buddy B messaged me. Gaim is set to add to the last IM or chat window, but it first added a new window (the blank one) and then opened a new tab on the original window. (At least, this is how it appeared.)

So, I can confirm that this happens on idle and new message, but I cannot confirm whether it requires an existing IM window.

I can confirm that this bug can happen with no existing conversation windows present. Also reporting odd behavior of conversation window, which may provide some insight into the crash. Here's the sequence as best I can remember:

 * no conversations present
 * have gone idle
 * beep (incoming)
 * window appears in upper left of screen (call it "top")
 * several incoming messages into "top"
 * I start typing into "top"
 * more incoming messages into "top"
 * somewhere in here, "top"
 * a new window appears in lower left (call it "bottom"), containing the conversation that "top" contained
 * I can send and receive and start new conversations in "bottom", but gaim will crash if I touch "top".

I think that gaim is opening the new conversation twice, and then some ambiguity over the appropriate window is causing the crash.

Attached is a screenshot.

This may or may not be related to a conflict with the sound system. For example, if I start Gaim while Firefox has a page open with a YouTube video, Gaim will produce a window very similar to the doppelganger I've noted above. (On startup, Gaim signs into IRC, which produces some message windows. I don't hear the normal beeps, and closing the last tab or window crashes Gaim.)

Edgy and gaim are not supported anymore. Please open a new bug if you get a crash with pidgin in a later version of Ubuntu.
