It sounds like you're trying to change the configuration files while
Pidgin is running.  That isn't something that is supported - the
configuration files will be overwritten during the course of normal
operation of Pidgin and are only read once when pidgin starts up.

If you want to change a preference while pidgin is running, you'll
have to either do that with a plugin or using the DBus interface.
