Feature request for Pidgin: aMSN style login

[Narcis Garcia - GiLUG]

Well, an alternative is to give a dropdown control to select the network
(protocol), but the main idea is to present directly a login window.

Pidgin is technically betther than aMSN, but aMSN is better to be
presented to casual people in public computers.

Thanks.
