Holy! What the Hell? Why does the new version of Pidgin, have popup window for new instant messages?
Here’s now to kill them!
Go into Tools/Plugins
Find the Libnotify Popups
Uncheck New Messages
Hit Close
Re-start the client!
No more annoying popups!
They should NOT do this as a default, but they do.

Whew — I thought I got a virus — I was going through /var/log and saw popularity-contest — and I said, wtf?

DEBIAN PACKAGE POPULARITY CONTEST – Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@debian.org>
=================================
This package contains a script, /usr/sbin/popularity-contest, which
generates a list of the packages installed on your system, in order of
most-recently-used to least-recently-used. The simplest way to use this
information is to help clean up your hard drive by removing unused packages.
