Comment:

 xerces8: Because by default pidgin acts like tabbed applications and not
 the way readline/emacs behaves. If you disable the default ctrl-w binding
 and enable the emacs GTK+ keybinding mode you get the ctrl-w behaviour you
 want.

 We have received more than a small handful of complaints about the default
 ctrl-l binding but nowhere near a lot.

 I'm sure there are plenty of people who are used to the ctrl-l 'boss key'
 that would not be happy if we broke it. Unfortunately there isn't a way to
 know who is using it and who isn't so that we could migrate away from it
 without breaking anyone (or I would suggest we should do so as I clear it
 when I install pidgin and can't imagine that most people want it or even
 know about it).
