--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 In pidgin 2.0.2, I changed my mins before away preferences because pidgin
 kept showing me idle. On restarting pidgin it always segment faults.  I
 installed 2.1.1, and it exhibits the same behavior.  Here's a script of
 the gdb run;
