Okay, thanks.

None whatsoever. UI elements aren't created until the chat joining is  
successful.  Adium is not strictly a libpurple UI, though, and as a  
rule doesn't associate its own objects tightly to the objects and flow  
of libpurple.  AIChat is Adium's equivalent of PurpleConversation, not  
of GtkChat (so my explanation wasn't perfect metaphor).
