When I right click Pidgin in the system tray and click Quit, instead of exiting, the program freezes. I must right click it in the taskbar and click close. This brings up the Stopped Working dialog box, which gives me the option to wait, find a solution or force it to quit.
Below is the problem report:

I get the same issue on Win XP. When I press Buddies>Quit Pidgin freezes and stays like that. The only way to shut it down now is to use ctrl+del and kill the process :(.

Could you try these cases and report if the problem happens?
- Remove all IM accounts and run and exit.
- Leave just one IM account disabled and run and exit.
- Enable one IM account and run and exit.

OK, I see you do not understand. These were procedures to help developers know where the bug may be. I am not using MSWindows so I can not test it and on my Debian GNU/Linux x86-64 it works flawlessly. If you could try those steps maybe the bug could be fixed ASAP.

Espero que puedas leer esto (no sé si sabes castellano).
Mira, el 99% de los "quejosos" como le digo yo, se refieren a problemas ocurridos en Windows...nadie hace mención al Linux, el procedimiento que mencionas no me parece el mas indicado en mi opinión... Si yo instalo un programa es de suponer que funcione, no tengo porque estar haciendo malabares para ver si funciona, si se arregla o funciona.
Yo he usado este programa desde que se llamaba Gaim y nunca he tenido este problema, a lo mas un uso exagerado de recursos, pero nunca que se me cuelgue a la hora de cerrar el programa.
Espero que los responsables del programa puedan arreglar por el bien de los usuarios este "problema", dejaría una mala impresión que alguien que quiera cambiar o probar este programa le dé este tipo de problemas y/o impresión, te aseguro que algún novato le sucede este problema NO regresa o prueba mas el Pidgin (seguirá con su Messenger o programa de código cerrado) cosa que a nadie de los usuarios que prueban este programa desean (apoyamos el código abierto).
Espero que no lo tomes a mal (a veces lo que uno escribe no parece o no refleja la intención que deseamos darle al texto) este comentario es en buena onda, OK.?
Si no entiendes o no sabes castellano haré lo posible en ponerlo en inglés (a pesar que no es mi idioma nativo, es necesario saberlo).

Como te he dicho en inglés yo no uso MSWindows. Pero si haces lo que te he dicho puedo ayudar a arreglar el problema ya que podré saber donde puede estar el problema. Lo que te he dicho no es para ver si tu puedes arreglarte el problema localmente. Es para que nos ayudes, si tanto interés tienes, a arreglar el problema. Si no quieres colaborar no esperes que un usuario de Linux arregle un problema que solo ocurre en MSWindows.

This has been tested on multiple systems at my location. Regardless of which IM service is enabled/disabled, it always hangs upon close, 100% of the time.
This is happening/tested on: XP Home SP2 and SP3, XP Pro SP3, Vista Ultimate SP1 x86, Vista Ultimate x64 with and without and SP1 (32 bit pidgin client).
This issue has been happening with versions 2.5.2 and 2.5.3 (which uses an updated GTK+, 2.12.12 rev. a), but never happened at any time with version 2.5.1 of pidgin (which uses GTK+ 2.12.8 rev. a). Since uninstalling and going back to 2.5.1, this problem has been resolved.
Also, keeping GTK+ 2.12.12 rev. a with 2.5.1, the problem does not continue so it is not related to GTK+ but pidgin itself.
When I use pidgin2.5.3, meet the hang up issue also. But revision2.5.2 runs good on my system windowsXP. Usually I use MSN and QQ, so I extract both dll file and copy to work folder in 2.5.2, seems work well.
Hope the desiner can improve the issue with new version.

I get the same issue on Win XP. When I press Buddies>Quit Pidgin freezes and stays like that. The only way to shut it down now is to use ctrl+del and kill the process :(.
Same problem with two diferent machines (P3 & P4).
My previous versions was working without problems, I don´t know why upgraded...
Where can I download the previous ver.?
Here you go:

chriswyatt ==> Thanks!
Downgrading right now.
deathfired ==> Same issue, all the problems that I see are WinXP related... always at quit or closing the program.
I can confirm this happening on Vista Home Premium x86 as well.
Could you try these cases and report if the problem happens?
- Remove all IM accounts and run and exit.
- Leave just one IM account disabled and run and exit.
- Enable one IM account and run and exit.
Come on... what kind of procedures are those?
If I install a program, I don´t need to mess around with the settings, I´ve never did that with Pidgin even with Gaim (the predecessor of Pidgin).
Developers need to fix this Asap.
