hi,

i'd like to point out that it is not userfriendly to remove options from 
the preferences menue with increasing version number.
i am kind of enraged that with every new version i have to adapt myself 
to some other persons preference what gaim/pidgin should look like, 
without being able to change it to my needs.
if you think that some of the option that were removed shouldn't be in 
the preferences window, then at least make it possible to change this 
manually in the config file.

especially i'm talking about:
- dim idle buddies (i don't care who's idle, .. and i don't care how 
long he is, as an extra option)
- an option to control the icons for the status (i don't care who's away 
or busy), example: "only two icons: online or offline" vs. "the full 
spectrum" (which is the default for now).
- sending with ctrl+enter

obviously the second thing has not been in pidgin/gaim yet. this is some 
kind of proposal.

thanks for reading, i hope to get feedback on this soon.
