What leaks does Pidgin have? I've configured it to connect to hidden
services before, so it can't have DNS leaks, can it?

Tor used to support a Tor IM Bundle with Pidgin, but the whole thing was
dropped due to lack of interest IIRC -- Pidgin wasn't pulled from the
TBB due to insecurity. (I'm not very confident in my knowledge here, so
if someone could confirm/deny this it'd help everyone).
