As it says on the second part of 
https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorifyHOWTO/InstantMessaging#Pidgin
if you want Pidgin to work with a specific account,
go to Accounts (in Pidgin) and modify the proxy settings there.
The GNOME proxy settings will not work for this.

The screen capture on that wiki page is out of date -
i am uploading a new one now.

Also, the link you quoted in your other message is out of date -
we do not use the wiki on noreply.org anymore.
