You probably want to match the WM_NAME string with Title:

withIM (1%7) (Title "Buddy List") (Grid)

This is more specific than using the "Pidgin" ClassName, which would be
allowed to match new non-buddy list Pidgin windows too.

If it turns out that other apps also use the title "Buddy List", you can
restrict it to only Pidgin:

withIM (1%7) (And (ClassName "Pidgin") (Title "Buddy List")) (Grid)
