You are right! It was just time to gather information.
Usually I have standart linux security...

I tried again but unfortunately it has no effect.

Same as previously - has no effect

CentOS release 6.6 (Final)
Linux avl 2.6.32-504.3.3.el6.i686 #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 22:55:44 UTC 2014 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux

The distributive was got from http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/isos/i386/
(redirected to http://mirror.yandex.ru/centos/6.6/isos/i386/ for
downloading, than installed).

CEntOS has no pidgin last version,
there are too much additional repositories and not all of them are relevant
or useful.
And do not forget about the incompatibility of the dependent packages in the
repositories
because

it is BIG trouble and big inconvinient.

btw: on my 
job PC with Windows 8.1 pidgin version is correct.

best regards
