 I choose to not use the tabs for IMing.  Having just installed Pidgin
 2.1.0, as I double click each buddy's username the new window that springs
 to life is a bit taller than the previous window.  It is larger, but only
 in the vertical direction, NOT the horizontal.  I demonstrate this in the
 animated gif (which is too large to attach) by opening 14 windows and
 positioning each slightly to the right of the other so you can see the two
 windows against each other for comparison.  This image can be found at:

 While I didn't measure it precisely, it seems to be vertically resizing by
 the same amount each time a new window opens.  Also notice that once the
 size reaches to "the whole screen" territory, it stops resizing.

 This resizing behavior seems to be dependent on the size of the last
 ''active'' window.   Let's say I have a random window - let's call it
 window 1 - open.  I open window 2 (which is inexplicably larger than
 window 1).  Then I go into window 1 and resize it so that it is now larger
 than window 2.  Then I open window 3, and this time it is larger than
 window 1 (which HAD been the largest until I opened 3).

 I can reproduce this bug all the time, whether I open the window manually
 via double-clicking or someone IMs me, thus opening a new window
 automatically - the new window is still vertically larger than the last.
