The same thing happened to me, only with the "f" key.  It's actually a
misfeature of Pidgin, not a bug.

If you highlight an item in one of Pidgin's pull-down menus and hit some
random keys, it sets whatever key combination you pressed as a hotkey
for that item.  This can happen inadvertently if you sloppily hit the
Alt key while typing, or if you accidentally thumb the touchpad on your
laptop, for instance.  Just highlight the "enable logging" item and type
a saner key combination to use, like F3 (right next to the default key
to toggle timestamps) or Ctrl+L, which is probably easier to remember.

Hope this helps,
