Curiously, when you click on the Indicator Applet icon and select
Pidgin, the buddy list appears just BEHIND the window having the focus.
Try to following:

1. Open Firefox, full maximized.
2. Open a Terminal.
3. Click on Indicator Applet -> Pidgin.

Result: the buddy list is displayed BEHIND the terminal window, but IN
FRONT of the Firefox window.

4. Click on the buddy list to give it the focus. The buddy list goes in front 
of the terminal window.
5. Click on X button to close the buddy list.
6. Click on Indicator Applet -> Pidgin.

Result: the buddy list is displayed IN FRONT of all windows, because
there's no another window focused.

7. Click on X button to close the buddy list.
8. Click on the Terminal window, even it already has the focus (this is very 
important).
9. Click on Indicator Applet -> Pidgin.

Result: the buddy list is displayed BEHIND the terminal window, but IN
FRONT of the Firefox window.

If you skip the step #8, then the buddy list is displayed IN FRONT of
all windows. It seems that Pidgin tries to remember what window had the
focus when the buddy list closed.
