This looks like a simple bug, to me -- on my screen (where the dialog
opens plenty large enough to see all fields), the screen name and
protocol fields open up to roughly the same width; however, resizing
the dialog resizes only the screen name field, while the protocol
field is about three times the width of the longest string in the
field.

If you don't mind, file a bug on the Pidgin tracker, at
http://developer.pidgin.im/ -- since this isn't a show-stopper bug
under most conditions, that will help us keep track of it if it isn't
fixed immediately.
