 When Pidgin added Google Talk as an option for protocols, I had mixed
 feelings about it. On the plus side, it makes Google Talk easier to use in
 Pidgin. However, it gives preferential status to it over other XMPP
 providers such as Jabber.org, LJ Talk, and Gizmo Project. I suggest that a
 dropdown menu be added to the Add Account dialog when XMPP is suggested,
 that allows the user to choose between several popular XMPP providers, and
 a manual option. When one is selected, the fields are filled out
 automatically. Services that I suggest should be included are Google Talk,
 LJ Talk, Jabber.org, and Gizmo Project. Also, anything that shouldn't be
 changed when using a particular XMPP provider should be greyed out.

 It would also be nice if the Screen Name and Domain fields were combined
 into one JID field, since screen name and domain aren't terms normally
 used by Jabber users. As far as I know, the domain can't be different from
 the part of the JID after the @ sign. However, if this isn't the case,
 then clearly that combination of the fields can't be done.
