 This is an issue coming from the GAIM days and still persists in
 pidgin-2.0.1.

 Initial Comment:
 Wingaim.

 If I drag&drop a file onto the conversation window,
 gaim starts the "send file" process.

 However, if the file is a picture, I get the question :
 "do you want this image to be buddy icon for this buddy?"

 Though a bit odd, this functionality, I would expect it
 to function *only* if I drop the file on the icon region.
 However, regardless where in the conversation window I
 drop it, if it's a picture, i get this question.

 This practically denies sending files via file transfer
 if they are images and I want to drag&drop them.

 I have to use the menu. :(
