You can use it, to open the buddy list on another workspace and it notifies you, in case you have new, unread messages.

To disable/configure it, open pidgin's options (tools > options/preferences). On the tab "surface" you can set the option "display icon in the system tray" to never/always/on new messages.

I meant its static in that way its useless.. I doesnt reflect my status, or if I have unread messages etc. Its just that boring ugly static icon from the Faenza theme.
