 I'm using the "US International" keyboard layout under Windows Vista.

 In this keyboard layout, the apostrophe key (') plus a produces "á".

 However, apostrophe plus, for example, "s" DOES NOT produce an s with
 acute accent. It produces apostrophe-s.

 Pidgin behaves differently from all other Windows applications in that it
 produces an s with acute. I don't want that. I'm used to typing
 apostrophe+s to get apostrophe+s.

 Pidgin should at least offer an option to disable this non-standard
 behaviour. However, I'd even recommend to have it off by default. Behaving
 differently from every other application is never good (it violates the
 principle of least surprise).
