[Adium-devl] Adding intelligence to 'Gmail account'

[Christopher Forsythe]

I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure there isn't an API for the  
locations selection.

I also think making this as simple for the user is a good thing,  
rather than adding more options that could confuse folks. Jabber  
users are smarter than the average bear, however we've tried to make  
accounts easy where possible.

Profiles would be nice, but shouldn't be specifically linked to the  
fix for this.
