Please install the pidgin-dbg and libgtk2.0-0 packages, and get a

Also, moving your ~/.purple directory out of the way and trying again
might help, as will attaching the output of "pidgin -d".
I've attached the output of pidgin - d as pidgin.out. I already had
libgtk2.0-0 installed. The debug build doesn't help as pidgin exits
normally without crashing. It just doesn't display a window and exits.
