Overhaul of Accounts

[Chris Forsythe]

I think it was either Iser or Evan, but I cannot remember back that far. I know I helped with feedback on it quite a bit on the first round, so that's why I'm thinking Iser or Evan.

Perhaps that's why I dislike this really. It seems like a *really* old design to me. Iser had a mockup to fit profiles for network locations into this kind of UI at one point. That was well over 7 years ago.

I would prefer the context menus not get removed from the context menu, if only because it's the easiest place to set multiple account's statuses simultaneously (right click 2 of them, set as away, etc), among other things.
