Comment:

 I installed [http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk-
 win/files/GTK%2B%20Runtime%20Environment/GTK%2B%202.16/gtk2-runtime-2.16.6-2010-05-12-ash.exe/download]

 as I like to keep a system wide theme... the pidgin installer did NOT
 recognize that it was installed and ignores %USERPROFILE%\.gtkrc-2.0

 I understand not distributing a system wide installer for GTK+, but
 ignoring a system wide install is not acceptable, PROVIDED it meets the
 version requirements for pidgin.
