That's a very problematic combination of programs, you know, I would
expect problems. Sid because its own nature of being continously updated
(libraries, applications, etc.) and gnome3 because, well... because is
very recent and not all the programs has been ported/adapted yet.

I would try to launch pidgin in debug mode (pidging -d), just in case you
can see any error in the console output.
Also, try to login into GNOME using the "fallback" mode (which does not
use the gnome-shell) and test Pidgin from there.
