Comment(by afcowie):

 > This is definitely not something we are going to add to pidgin directly
 though, the possibility of accidental "damage" is *much* too high. People
 complain about accidentally hitting ctrl-l and clearing the scrollback in
 just the one IM window, I can't even imagine the complaints we would get
 if people started randomly quitting pidgin.

 As you wish.

 I'd point out in rebuttal that people can Alt+F4 and thereby raise a
 !GtkWindow 'delete-event' signal, which, since you don't block it,
 frequently causes people to "randomly quit". Except it's not random; they
 deliberately [or accidentally, too bad] closed the application window, so
 no surprise all their conversations are closed/lost [the recent persistent
 conversation feature notwithstanding]. In any event, Ctrl+Q is
 consistently "quit application" throughout the desktop. People know what
 it means, and do it deliberately. {shrug} Doesn't seem unreasonable to be
 able to do it from the window you spend all your time in.

 I'll look into the plugin idea. Not sure I'll be able to achieve it but
 thanks for that suggestion. As long as your IRC experience is better than
 Empathy's I'd prefer to stick with Pidgin.
