I can. :(

I've currently got the following packages matching '*pidgin*' installed:

    ii  pidgin              2.10.11-1    amd64        graphical multi-protocol 
instant messaging client for X
    ii  pidgin-blinklight   0.11.1-2     amd64        Blinks your ThinkPad's 
ThinkLight upon new messages
    ii  pidgin-data         2.10.11-1    all          multi-protocol instant 
messaging client - data files
    ii  pidgin-dbg          2.10.11-1    amd64        Debugging symbols for 
Pidgin
    ii  pidgin-otr          4.0.1-1      amd64        Off-the-Record Messaging 
plugin for Pidgin
    ii  pidgin-themes       0.2-1        all          Smiley themes collection 
for pidgin

In the new/pristine user profile I made sure that none of the  plugins were
enabled. I then put the check in the box for Pidgin-Blinklight and I got
the crash that I originally reported.

I don't know what's going on there. :/

The output on the console:

    [xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue
    [xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not 
been called
    [xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
    pidgin: ../../src/xcb_io.c:274: poll_for_event: Assertion 
`!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost' failed.
    Aborted

For the heck of it I tried to make a binNMU package to ensure it's built
against the current dependencies in Debian Jessie but the crashing
persists.
