By default for some reason , pidgin doesn't allow you to be invisible with gtalk. If you choose invisible the other protocols like yahoo etc would go invisible but google chat wouldnt . So here is a way to configure that using a plugin so when you set invisible on pidgin even google chat is set to invisible :

Step 1 : Go to THIS LINK and download the deb file
Step 2 : INstall the package by double clicking on the deb file
Step 3 : Restart pidgin , go to Tools->Plugin
Step 4 : Search for Gtalk Invisible and enable it

Step 5 : Thats it , next time you set pidgin to invisible , you would be invisible in gtalk as well.
