This is an Ubuntu hate, not a Pidgin hate. Vanilla Pidgin has only one of those, Online Help, the one with the life ring. But Ubuntu apparently patch this into (more or less?) all the gtk+ and Qt apps or something like that, so that not only Pidgin but many other apps have the exact kind of duplication you see.
