I tried this plugin a while ago and it didn't seem to work at all. Uninstalled and used the webapp (Easy Debian) but having a native solution is always preferred and I tried again and now it just seem to work
One problem though - receiving messages results in a crash.
Started pidgin from terminal
error message:

tgl/structures.c:2035: tglm_message_insert_tree:
Assertion 'M->id' failed.
Aborted

Any ideas how to solve this?
