    Win98 SE with final version of GTK compatible with Win9x installed.

    Error message I receive when trying to access program options either by pressing Ctrl+P or by going through the menus.

    Stack dump:
    00000002 00000004 00000002 0114c187 00000000 00a2df30 0073e090 00ca0b12 0073e134 0073ddc8 0073ddc8 0073dd98 bff92c68 00000000 00a2dfc8 0073de20

      Just installed 2.2.0, tried CTRL+P, Tools-Preferences too, both work fine and I can tab through and change prefs.  FYI

      Sounds like you might be experiencing a version of this problem:
      http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/2353

      Try the workaround mentioned there, and see if it helps.

      The problem only affects Win9X/ME users, due to the older version of GTK+.

      I will try the fix after I shut Pidgin down for the day and will report back with my results tomorrow.

      The workaround seems to have helped. I was able to access options after putting the line in. Thank you for the help.
