Your ~/.conky/conkymain file has the command to call conkyPidgin in it, that command may need adjusting so the refresh rate is lower
e.g. ${execi 1 conkyPidgin ...} or ${exec conkyPidgin ...} would become ${execi 5 conkyPidgin ...} so instead of refreshing every second it would every 5...
This is what I get in the .conkyrc file pertaining conkyPidgin:
${font Liberation Sans:style=Bold:size=8}PIDGIN $stippled_hr${font}${if_running pidgin}
${voffset 4}${execpi 10 ~/.scripts/conkyPidgin.py -o -s -l 5}${else}
${voffset 4}${color0}${font PizzaDude Bullets:size=12}4${font}${color} Pidgin not running${endif}

Kaivalagi, thank you so much for your help.
I was still having issues, I'm using the latest version of "conky-colors" so what I did was add Pidgin to "startup applications" then edited the conkystartup.sh file so that conky loads after 60 seconds and it is working out OK so far.

Nice script, is there anyway to just list the online users and not their personal messages, the group they're in & their statuses?
I'm using conky-colors. It may be what your looking for.
aaaargh , you should put the 'text_buffer_size 1024' line to the example conky config file!
i sucked so much with this
I have switched OS and now use ArchLinux rather than any debian based distro. It looks like the continuing support of my scripts will be without ppa updates, and instead my time will support AUR based installs once I get to understand them. I will provide the usual tarball downloads of the source for non Arch users from within these forum.
