Comment(by datallah):

 Crying about it doesn't improve the situation.  Your attitude makes me
 less inclined to want to spend my limited time to help you.

 It is unfortunate that we don't distribute a newer GTK+ version yet, but
 there are other reasons for that.  Hopefully that will change soon.  Until
 then you have 2 simple options (summarized for your convenience):

  1. Install [http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pidgin/gtk-
 runtime-2.12.1-rev-b.exe GTK+ 2.12.1] and don't upgrade GTK+ when you
 install Pidgin (there is a checkbox in the installer).
  1. Use the binary patch solution mentioned [#comment:13 above] by ssb22
 every time you update if you want to use a newer GTK+.
