 Yes, this is probably the dumbest thing you've ever seen as a ticket, and
 I really couldn't find anything about it from my limited searches on the
 'net. The goal of my request is that somebody put a small pronunciation
 key (i.e. pronounced like "pidgeon": "[pij-uhn]").

 Before this ticket is discarded as the workings of a phonetically
 challenged idiot, let me explain:  I was one of those people that helped
 kill the download servers minutes after a new version was published. ;)  I
 also convinced dozens of people to use Gaim instead of Yahoo, ICQ, AIM,
 MSN, despite some failings that the other clients didn't have.

 I became disenfranchised with Gaim as soon as 1.5.0 came out and the
 updates seemed to stop.  I blamed it on Google for having "not taken away"
 one of Gaim's primary developers... then, one day, when the little Gaim
 logo glinted in my eye just right, I decided to go to the website
 (gaim.sourceforge.net) to see if anything had changed.  I was magically
 redirected to pidgin.im.

 "Pid Gin.  What a stupid name.  I could see Pig din.  Rolls off the tongue
 more.  I'll just call it 'PG' for short."  PID GIN.  That's how I
 pronounced it.  Until today, in fact, when something in my brain suddenly
 connected the name with the picture to it's left... "You mean it's
 supposed to be 'pidgeon'?  I can't believe..."

 All that being said, I can't imagine that I am the only person in the
 world that has had this problem. And in a world where "Favre" is
 pronounced "FARVE"... need I say more?  Thanks for listening.
