Try to run pidgin via command line (Applications → Accesories → Terminal → write down pidgin, enter) and copy here error message (if any).

Firstly thanks for your help. I tried your suggestion and typed in Pidgin and enter. The same line popped up again???
Any ideas?
"The same line popped up again???"
→ same line? What do you mean? There were no output in terminal?

Hi again, apologies for the confusion. When I go to Application > Accesories > Terminal the screen isn't clear. The following text appears : david@david-
Thanks a million Vojtech for your help.
Screen name depends on protocol - e.g. for ICQ is it UIN (Unique Identification Number), for XMPP/Jabber is it first part of "email like" adress, for GTalk first part of email adress etc.
Local alias is nickname/alias etc. - displayed name.
If you want, you can delete Kopete, but it doesn't matter.

The size of the picture depends on what protocol you are using. I think msn supports up to 100x100.
