the .recently-used.xbel is not part of pidgin...A quick search shows this to be a part of GIMP.
The gtk-2.0 could be from any number of apps that use GTK. (Gimp does also)
Neither of these are present on my system before or after I use pidgin.
Make sure you are checking while pidgin is NOT running.
I don't see those files too, if you're right how do you know pidgin's making those files?
When you set/change the avatar, gtk-2.0 is written immediately to disk.
If you send a file, .recently-used.xbel is created when pidgin is closed.
Wait, do you mean "AppData" or "Application Data" for the first one?
You're right about the "recently-used.xbel" one but I don't know about the other one. I don't have enough priveleges on the computer to go into the "Application Data" folder.
The gtk-2.0 folder is created on avatar change. It contains one file (gtkchooser.ini) with the following text:
[Filechooser Settings]
LocationMode=path-bar
ShowHidden=false
ExpandFolders=false
Also, .recently-used.xbel is created (on close after file transfer) with the following information:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"??>
<xbel version="1.0"
xmlns:bookmark="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/desktop-bookmarks"
xmlns:mime="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info"
></xbel>

These are CONFIRMED.
Congrats, would you like a medal?
P.S. I'm not being sarcastic.
I've confirmed this bug and have a fix prepped for the 2.5.1 release.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
This has been fixed with the 2.5.1 release posted today.

I know this is an outdated post and all John, but I am running into the exact issue with a program I am working on with the same two files, what was the fix?

compare the launchers in WinMerge and you will know what changed.

Compare what launchers?
I don't have the old pidgin?

download the old pidgin from our Sourceforge page.

Actually after I posted U took a look at the source code for the Pidgin launcher and think I figured out what was done, thanks though!
