Package: pidgin
Version: 2.10.11-1.1
Followup-For: Bug #793152

I had a similar problem with Pidgin hanging. The output in the terminal showed:

   libdc1394 error: Failed to create juju

I have apparmor enabled. When I set the profile to complain mode, pidgin
started successfully.

I added the following to /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.bin.pidgin and set
the profile to enforced mode:

  owner @{HOME}/.cache/gstreamer*/ rw,
  owner @{HOME}/.cache/gstreamer*/** rw,
  owner @{HOME}/.config/qtcurve/gtk-icons rw,
  owner @{HOME}/.config/qtcurve/gtk-icons/** rw,
  owner @{HOME}/.config/gtkrc-2.0 r,

  /usr/share/kde4/config/kdeglobals r,
  /usr/local/share/mime/** r,


Pidgin is working with these changes.  The gstreamer lines are the important
ones, without them Pidgin refuses to start. The other lines were added to
prevent log spam.
