Comment (by hkazemi):

 I suggest re-opening this ticket for usability improvement reasons
 described below:

 I recently was trying to do the same thing as 'joonohh'...remove a buddy
 pounce.  It wasn't obvious to me either, but searching Google led me to
 this feature request, where Datallah's reply answered my question of how
 to remove a pounce.  (Thanks!)

 I doubt that 'joonohh' and myself are the first and only two users to be
 affected by this weakness in the existing UI design.  The challenge stems
 from a menu entry called 'Add Buddy Pounce' being in a Buddy's right-click
 context menu, but there is no corresponding 'Remove Buddy Pounce' entry
 there.

 For a Pidgin user who found 'Add Buddy Pounce' in the context menu (or in
 the chat window's 'Conversation' menu), it is not intuitive to go looking
 in the Tools menu to remove saved (recurring) pounces.

 I suggest one of the following to improve usability:

 1.) add new context and 'Conversation' menu entries called 'Remove Buddy
 Pounce' that are displayed and active when there is a saved or recurring
 pounce configured for that user.

 2.) rename the existing context and 'Conversation' menu entries 'Add Buddy
 Pounce...' to 'Configure Buddy Pounces'.  'Configure Buddy Pounces' should
 be the top of a cascading menu (like 'Presence Settings' or 'Move to'),
 with the 3 options 'Add Buddy Pounce...', 'Remove Buddy Pounce...', and
 'Configure Buddy Pounces' (which could bring up the pounce list for all
 users).
