I use Ubuntu 12.04 and have the same problem. I have set Pidgin as a startup application, but after startup it quits without any sign of crash report. If it is important i have also Transmission, Indicator-weather and Nvidia X-Server settings set to start on startup. I have also skype4pidgin plugin installed.
