Comment(by qwertymodo):

 Sorry to resurrect this, I kinda gave up for awhile, but now I have a
 better idea of exactly what it is I am asking.  When the Buddy List window
 is in focus, if you press Ctrl+Q, the program exits cleanly.  I was hoping
 to achieve this same effect using the Windows SendMessage or PostMessage
 API calls.  However, Pidgin does not seem to respond to these calls.  I
 start by getting the HWND for the window whose WindowClass is
 "gdkWindowToplevel" Window Caption is "Buddy List" and first child window
 is "Pidgin".  I then use the appropriate SendMessage or PostMessage calls
 to send the Ctrl+Q keyboard event to that HWND.  Unfortunately, it does
 nothing.  I have checked my SendMessage/PostMessage calls against message
 logs using Spy++ to log the messages sent when I actually use the keyboard
 (which does work), but to no avail.  So either my programming is totally
 off or else Pidgin is ignoring these virtual keystrokes.  If it is the
 latter, then hopefully it is more clear now what it is I am asking for as
 far as this ticket is concerned.  If the problem is mine however, perhaps
 someone could lend some advice?
