Comment:

 I would imagine that most people who mistakenly hit CTRL + L don't even
 know what they did, let alone have the motivation to come file a bug about
 it.  Unless you disagree, then you have to admit that whatever you've
 seeing is just the tip of the iceberg.

 That being said, it's your software, if you want to have a shortcut that
 does something 99% of your users will never want just so that 1% can do it
 more conveniently (without having to map a keybinding), that's your
 choice.  I personally just think it's silly to cater to such a small
 subset at the expense of everyone else, and I think Pidgin would be a
 better IM client without that binding (by default; I'm not saying it
 should be impossible to clear your logs with a keystroke).
