Summary
Pidgin usually stores passwords as plaintext with the "save password" function. This plugin instead saves all passwords to the system keyring, which some would argue is a more secure form of password storage.

x11-plugins/pidgin-gnome-keyring: fix pkgconfig calls in the Makefile
For some reason upstream has opted to this as `pkg-config foo`, which as reported in Bug #784323 does not always (I still cannot reproduce it on my end) work as it should. Do it the proper Make way, i.e. with $(shell pkg-config foo). While at it, bump the package to EAPI 7.
