In a fit of rage, I did a palette swap on the vomit-green bits of the
pidgin icons to be more like fedora blue.  RPMs here:

Much nicer, IMO.  Might be something we actually want to ship.
Unfortunately the only theming support I saw in gai^Wpidgin is for
smilies, and nothing else, so it's not quite as simple as just making it
inherit from Echo or whatever.  Hooray for halfhearted Gnome
integration.
