Comment:

 GTK+ provides the bindings when the notebook tabs are focused, we
 'provide' the bindings when the input area is. Which is what makes this
 tough to make configurable. The input area has no logical (as far as GTK+
 is concerned) connection to the notebook tabs so it doesn't pay any
 attention when the input area is focused. (See
 gtkconv.c:conv_keypress_common for all the things we grab, notably [ and ]
 are ours in this case also.)

 I'm open to ideas about how to make this sort of thing configurable but I
 don't have any ideas that aren't horrible myself.

 As a side note, the orientation of Page Down to the left of Page Up
 strikes me as a poor choice regardless of any pidgin (or other application
 usage) in that most languages read left-to-right and top-to-bottom. So it
 would seem to me that the standard orientation would be that right is
 roughly equivalent to down, but maybe not.
