Using Pidgin with TOR

[Isaac Witmer]

Regarding the second issue, XMPP is a protocol:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMPP
This may also be useful:

The point is, if you're communicating to your friends OVER XMPP, then
disabling XMPP will disable communication.

Perhaps you're talking about:

This feature is prevalant in Empathy IM: http://live.gnome.org/Empathy

But as I know, pidgin doesn't handle this out of the box.
