First off: what pidgin version are you using, and what distro?

Maybe you could run this from a command line / shell
(gnome-terminal/xterm/konsole or the like):

 $ export G_DEBUG=fatal_warnings
 $ gdb /usr/bin/pidgin
 Welcome to gdb ... (bla bla)
 (gdb) run
 ... reproduce crash ...
 ... it should stop by itself ...
 (gdb) bt
 ... the output here is what we're after. All of it, not just the first line.
 (gdb) kill
 (gdb) quit

If you're running debian/ubuntu (or a debian-based distro), please install the
following packages first, if available:

 $ sudo apt-get install libgstreamer0.10-0-dbg  gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-dbg 
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good-dbg  pidgin-dbg

If you're running a different distro, please try to install the equivalent
packages (not sure what they're named, but probably similar and with a -debug
suffix).

This will make sure the stack trace contains debugging symbols. Without
debugging symbols the trace is unlikely to be very useful.
