Comment(by deryni):
Anyone setting up pidgin on a kiosk or shared computer is responsible for
configuring pidgin so that users do not have this issue. Disable logging,
wrap pidgin in a script which deletes account information/etc. when pidgin
is quit, create a custom build of pidgin which doesn't store that
information, tell pidgin to store its configuration in a dummy location
which does not exist (/dev/null or what-have-you), etc.
