Comment:

 What config files specifically are being overwritten at startup? Are you
 copying the config files over existing files while pidgin is running?
 pidgin will not notice that and will overwrite them at quit time.

 I don't believe the behaviour of PURPLEHOME changed between 2.7.4 and
 2.7.5 so I'm not sure what you could be seeing here exactly unless you
 were using a much older version of pidgin (as I believe the behaviour of
 PURPLEHOME did change some time ago).

 As to the font change that is also not something that we will have changed
 since we do not and have never specified any fonts by default, that will
 be up to your GTK+ settings which are likely to have changed if you were
 upgrading from an older version of pidgin also as there was a change to
 how we installed/handled GTK+ recently. You can see some details about
 this in the [Using%20Pidgin#win32_gtk_theme FAQ] but as that indicates
 that change was made in 2.7.0.

 If you download 2.7.4 and reinstall it do things go back to working the
 way they were? If so can you get the debug output from both versions of
 pidgin starting up (using the [TipsForBugReports#PreemptiveDebugLogging
 Preemptive method])?
