Comment:

 This sounds like a GTK+ bug.

 My guess about what's happening is this.  When you add a new monitor to
 the left of or above the existing monitor, the position of pixel 0,0
 changes from the upper left corner of the original monitor to the upper
 left corner of the new monitor.  If Pidgin is minimized when this happens,
 Windows doesn't tell GTK+ that the window position has changed, so when
 you restore the window, GTK+ redraws it ''at the original coordinates''
 (which are relative to pixel 0,0), which now reside on the other monitor.

 I'm 99.9999% sure there's nothing Pidgin can do about this.
