 Hi!
 My problem with Pidgin 2.5.1 is the program eats the memory, hell of a
 much. I don't used to shutdown and start my Windows XP just make it sleep
 mode, and 3-4 days after the Pidgin eats 1-1,5 gigabyte of memory and uses
 the 90-95% of CPU! And then I need to close the program and starts again.
 It's a little bit annoying.
 My PC's configuration:
 - ASUS A8N5X motherboard
 - AMD Athlon64 3500+
 - 2GB Samsung DDR400
 - ATI Radeon X1650XT
 - Windows XP SP2

 Have you any solution of this problem?

 Rapid

 What plugins are you using? Are you using any wallpaper switching software
 for Windows?

 I'm not using any plugins, but I'm using Wallpaper Changer v1.90
 (www.wallpaperchanger.de).

Comment:

 This is a problem with GTK+ we believe when the wallpaper changes. See
 #6452, #5620, and #4722. I believe the only workaround is to not use a
 wallpaper changer for now.

Comment(by phroggie):

 Some say that it helps if you change your GTK+ theme to something other
 than MS-Windows.
