I am having the same problem (on a real system) on Karmic. Enabling a Bonjour account causes my system to freeze with the Caps Lock light blinking. I have not found anything in the logs, and running Pidgin with the Debug Window open doesn't provide any useful information, since the screen goes black when the freeze occurs. I haven't tried running from a Live CD.
