 I have suggested a few changes to the non-blocking stuff. The initial post
 in the mailing list is:
 http://pidgin.im/pipermail/devel/2007-July/001937.html

 In addition to what I have there, I have a few more!

 * Is there any plans on having non-blocking searches in logs?

 * Is it possible to cancel a non-blocking operation after it's started? It
 would be particularly useful to cancel, for example, a search operation
 (if it's there).

 * Is there a guarantee that the non-blocking callbacks will be called in
 the 'correct order'. For example, if I select a row in the log-viewer, and
 then select a different row before the log shows up, can we be certain
 that the first callback isn't called last, in which case, we will end up
 showing details of the wrong log. The cancel operation can be useful to
 avoid this.

 * Does it sound like a good idea to allow tagging logs? It'd be pretty
 cool if I can add some tags to some logs (eg. "soc", "ideas" etc.), and
 then only search the tags, or only show some tagged log etc.
