@zarquon42 you are right, at first it seemed to work, but i think the problem is much more complicated than we originaly though. In my case the hang up is not related to a network issue. If i run pidgin -n it starts ok, but when i press Ctrl-C on the terminal sometimes it hang up. strace output is the same in both cases (with or without -n).
