 As of V2.1.0 of Pidgin, the Buddy account name was added to the IM window.
 Since the tab already has the Buddy account name (or Alias), this addition
 is redundant and wastes screen real estate. If you want to have the actual
 Buddy account name available when an Alias is in use, why not do it as a
 "tool tip" over the tab which shows the Alias.

 Better yet, since the "full Buddy detail" tooltip already shows when you
 hover over the newly added Buddy account name in the IM window, just move
 that functionality to the Tab and give us back the 1/2" of vertical screen
 real estate which was taken away with this modification.

 This just seems like a "met loss" rather than an enhancement...
