 After adding all my accounts to Pidgin I've attempted to consolidate them
 into groups. Since Pidgin inherited a bunch of different groups from
 ICQ/AIM/MSN etc. my contacts were all over the place. When I dragged my
 ICQ contacts from one group to another Pidgin asked me for submitting
 authorization request. Since I've had some of the contacts for years this
 seemed rather confusing. Why do I need THEM to authorize me to drag THEM
 around in my local list? So I hit "Cancel". What happened next was simply
 unpredictable. Pidgin appears to have deleted my contacts from the contact
 list on the ICQ server. Since I didn't have log history for some of them I
 have no way of bringing them back. This is a wonderful feature!
