From http://askubuntu.com/questions/67286/pidgin-doesnt-show-buddy-list:
-----
This issue still occurs on 12.04. Sometimes, the only way to get it to work is to killall pidgin and use the launcher from the dash. However, I came up with a solution that works every time.

Use the following command:

gksu gedit /usr/share/applications/pidgin.desktop (or use your favorite editor instead of gedit)

Add this to the bottom of the file and save:

sudo openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -x509 -nodes -days 3560 -out public.crt -keyout private.key
