Comment(by darkfly):

 I kind of got the themes working again for me in 2.10 GTK, though I'm
 pretty sure this is a lazy, and unprofessional way. But it works for me
 until someone does patch it.

 What I did was:
 Copied both lib, and etc from Root:\Program Files (x86)\Common
 Files\GTK\2.0\
 Pasted both lib, and etc into Root:\Program Files (x86)\Pidgin\Gtk\
 Copied "gtkthemeselector.exe" from Root:\Program Files (x86)\Common
 Files\GTK\2.0\bin\
 Pasted "gtkthemeselector.exe" to Root:\Program Files (x86)\Pidgin\Gtk\bin\

 The theme-selector seems to work for me, and I don't have any problems as
 of yet. If anyone else wants to try this until there's a proper fix.
