1. solution - start Pidgin with "pidgin -f" from command line or hotlink. 2. Disable and then re-enable all chat accounts manually - they should then work without the -f flag. No idea what causes the problem, sorry - these both worked for me - 2 isn't dependent on 1 btw, that was just the order i discovered them in - 2 different solutions.
