Comment:

 This is apparently a limitation in Pango/GTK. Quoting the
 `gtk_label_set_angle()` docs:
 {{{
 Sets the angle of rotation for the label. An angle of 90 reads from from
 bottom to top, an angle of 270, from top to bottom. The angle setting for
 the label is ignored if the label is selectable, wrapped, or ellipsized.
 }}}

 I guess this could be implemented manually in Pidgin, but I'm not sure how
 feasible that is (and I don't know enough about Pango to do it)
