I suppose my point about Pidgin's use of the keybinding is a little different from the title of this report. My point is that Pidgin's keybinding is inconsistent with *itself*, since window focus determines whether Ctrl+L in Pidgin will clear or bring up the logs. -- Ctrl-L is a poor keybinding

In Pidgin, the Ctrl+L shortcut is even worse, because the same keybinding can also bring up the log window if the buddy list is active. So the same keybinding either views the logs or nukes them, depending on window focus within a single application. Not good. -- Ctrl-L is a poor keybinding for
