pidgin otr dbus issue

In reply to: http://census-labs.com/news/2012/02/25/pidgin-otr-info-leak/

Pidgin is best sandboxed with AppArmor/SELinux/other in any case but to avoid this specific issue with DBUS one may launch Pidgin like so:

export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=""; pidgin &

This will stop Pidgin from registering with the DBUS server and the Proof Of Concept above will fail to log conversations.
