 === Can I group buddies by their owner, like Trillian's or Miranda's Metacontacts? ===
 Sure! Right click a buddy on your list and at the bottom of the menu click "Expand".  Then just drag other screen names to the same person below it.  When you're done, click on the arrow to collapse them.  When the contact is collapsed, Pidgin will select a buddy to display based on the status of the buddies in the contact, and their order.

+If you use the Alias function, by either highlighting a buddy and pressing F2 or right-clicking and selecting "Alias", when two or more buddies in the same group are aliased to the same name, Pidgin will prompt you to automatically merge them together into one contact.
