I can reduce Pidgin to two windows, but no further. The Buddy List is always separate from whatever grouped chat window I create. Is there any way to combine it?
I have come across these plugins, but they don't have Ubuntu-specific instructions:

I have come across these plugins, but they don't have Ubuntu-specific instructions:
I successfully installed window_merge in ubuntu following these guidelines:

I had to install those packages:
I also had to install it in a different way:
sudo make install
Now it works like a charm. Hope this helps.
This is not possible with Pidgin, and from the looks of things, doesn't seem like a feature we will get any time soon.
Maybe someone will eventually package those plugins you mentioned, but as far as I read at least one plugin requires external patches, which is not a good long term solution until they are upstreamed.
