Comment:

 You may be able to set the "gtk-recent-files-limit" and/or "gtk-recent-
 files-max-age" settings in your gtkrc file to 0 to tell GTK+ not to store
 recently used files, but I'm unsure whether that will prevent the file
 from being written or whether it will just be written with no recent file
 contents.

 I don't know whether pidgin can control whether or not that file is
 created or whether pidgin can give an alternate location for that file,
 but either of those options would need to be a user choice as removing
 that feature is going to be something some people dislike, and if the cost
 for people who don't use it is just a single file I'm not too concerned
 about it.
