94 Ok, one additional finding:
95
96 sudo pidgin displays a starting dialog (account setup).
97 I did not proceed to not to "pollute" the installation
98 with root permissions.
99
100 I checked the implemented groups but found nothing
101 appropiate to add my uid to.
102
103 Remains the one question: How can I fix it?
104
105 Best regards,
