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 am also a bit surprised by the traceback: pidgin-blinklight does not > really need to interact with X11.

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 [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. 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.
