Comment(by ioerror):

 Replying to [comment:23 erinn]:
 > I tested the latest Pidgin release (2.8.0) with the Tor proxy option
 added and while it can be set globally, you can only force encrypted
 logins on a per-account basis. Robert pointed out on IRC that it would be
 difficult to have a globally set option for this in Pidgin because of the
 variation in protocol specificities, but we should ask the Pidgin
 developers if there's any way to pre-seed it for a few IM types (our
 initial re-integration ones: GTalk, AIM, and XMPP), either by having a
 dummy accounts.xml or some other way.

 I use hidden services that do not support SSL. It would be nice if it was
 turned on by default but I need the option to use "insecure" services when
 I actually know better than Pidgin could ever know.
