Comment (by bradwjensen):

 Well for one, All my friends use the aim protocol to talk, some people
 computers suck and run slow using other protocols for idk what reason, but
 when using pidgin - my buds and i have to use MSN for our file transfers
 to work at all if even then.

 I want to be able to click my friends name and start sending stuff, not
 finding their name then right clicking their name and going to expand then
 clicking their name again just for that protocol to send one little file..

 Having the protocol image on the tabs would make it so all i have to do is
 open their one name then see on the tab that im sending to aim (when i
 know i want msn) so i can quickly change it to MSN from the "send to" at
 the top of the IM box.

 You should also fix the file transfers with AIM because I have never been
 able to send stuff with it, let alone receive files. I haven't said
 anything about it til now because i can wait, but i've waited forever, and
 its just a huge hassle to have to use msn so receive file transfers when
 everyone i know uses aim for chatting..

 A ton of people i know would love to use pidgin too, if it wasn't for the
 impossible file transfers..

 If i knew how to make a patch and all that jazz i would totally be
 spending all my time fixing that important defect.
