Thank you for reporting this issue and trying to improve Ubuntu. Unfortunately this bug was almost missed by the triage team as you confirmed your own bug. For more information on how to triage please visit "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage". As for this issue, I cannot mark it as triaged until I have a little bit more information.

* Could you please let us know what package of pidgin-otr you have installed.
* Does anything display on the screen at all other then the error message provided, (ie: does this happen when you select a certain option)?

Thanks,
