IRC panels upen upon startup

They are indeed associated with IRC.  Freenode messages you on
connection; these are not generated by Pidgin.

The former is not frequently-asked, and so it is not in the FAQ.  The
latter is handled by the IRC helper plugin from:

This is a third-party plugin, and not part of Pidgin itself.
