Still getting them. For example:

Could not read Pidgin buddy list file: Could not find file "/home/peter/.purple/blist.xml".

Cannot index Thunderbird contacts because a System.ArgumentNullException was thrown: Argument cannot be null.

And yet, I don't have either Pidgin or Thunderbird installed. Any idea what's going on?

As a wild stab in the dark, are you running an indexer such as Beagle?

$ ps auxw|grep beagle

or $ps auxw|grep ".exe" or something.

The System.ArgumentNullException looks quite Mono-ish. And I wouldn't be surprised if Beagle tries to index conversations from Pidgin and emails from Thunderbird by default.
