Comment 7 for bug 989557

I'm seeing something similar, but I think slightly different:
  1) Pidgin window goes away (I did NOT close Pidgin)
  2) Pidgin icon still shows up in Alt-Tab list of running apps
  3) When I alt-tab to it, no window appears. Clicking on alt-` right after this to show other windows of this application shows windows for application that previously had the focus.
  4) ps indicates that 4 pidgin processes are running (1 parent and 3 children)
  5) clicking on Pidgin icon on launcher does nothing
