The whole point of the GNOME HIG is so that all core GNOME applications
are consistent in look and feel.  GAIM/Pidgin is not a core GNOME
application and makes little effort to follow the HIG, however if you
look at the UI for Gossip you will see an IM client that integrates far
better with GNOME.

One of the reasons that Apple has been praised for its desktop is
because of the ruthless application of their HIG to all parts of the
system.  This means that the learning curve for new users is
significantly lower.
