I have installed pidgin-sipe package to connect to MS Office
Communicator from my office. I guess the problem might have started
after I added the MSN account (but I'm not sure).

Also, I run ubuntu as a guest OS in Virtualbox and I've removed Unity and installed classic GNome desktop  if that matters.
