Try escape [char] instead of ctrl-char.

I've run finch on FreeBSD under screen numerous times this way.  I don't
*think* I've run it on the console directly, but I may have done so from
a console, sshing into another machine (like when in a datacenter on one
BSD machine, connecting back to my "home" machine).

By the way, that works. esc+[char] gets desired results (when the esc
key works, time for a new keyboard it seems).

No, it could just be that your terminal setup isn't sending the right definition of the escape sequences pidgin is expecting.

This is not the first time I've seen the console have odd issues with ctrl-keys, fkeys, etc.
