*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 732150 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732150
I don't see how this is a duplicate because unlike #732150 it has specific
steps to reproduce the crash and there're different ways to trigger the crash
after closing a conversation window which lead to different backtraces etc.
The attached patch that removes possibly bitrotten code duplication fixes the
crash for me.

Title:
pidgin crashed with SIGSEGV in g_type_check_instance_cast()
Status in “pidgin” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
This happens *very* predictably. Steps to reproduce:
Install Pidgin and use the libnotify plugin with Unity (5.8 at current
release).
Have tabbed conversations. Attempt to close conversation window.
The window's contents "blank out" - just show the background window
grey color with window borders. One must hit the "X" again to
actually close the window.
After about 5 seconds, Pidgin becomes unresponsive, then goes away.
Then apport takes over.
I've never seen this problem WITHOUT the libnotify plugin being
active; however, without this plugin, the message indicator (blue
envelope) doesn't catch any notifications from Pidgin, and that's kind
of important to me.
