[Adium-devl] Toward 1.3

[Evan Schoenberg]

I worry that the fact an account isn't following global status would  
be difficult to get across in a menu. I don't think the option makes  
sense for most uses of normal accounts... And where it does, I think  
it'd really just be a workaround for lack of mixed-account-status  
saved sets support.

Does anyone else like the idea of presenting social networking  
accounts separately, with a divider and a pair of items for global- 
social-network and take-adium's-status support?

Cheers,
Evan
