Application crashes from command line but runs fine from Unity
General question: How can I most closely mimic via the terminal the way in which Unity executes a program?
I'm able to successfully run pidgin (2.10.3) from the Unity interface (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS), but when I simply run 'pidgin' from the command line I receive a segfault. Ideally, I would like to run 'pidgin' from the command line with the '-d' (debug) flag to see debug output. I thought perhaps Unity was using some special flags, etc. but the standard /usr/share/applications/pidgin.desktop file simply says:
[Desktop Entry]

Compare environment variables in terminal (env) and by running a script through desktop shortcut.
Script
#!/bin/sh
env > ~/myenv
Check if value of DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is different, because it seems to be the problem.

Turns out it was terminal's 'DISPLAY=:0' vs. Unity's 'DISPLAY=:0.0'
