#1456: Show empty groups should show groups only from currently connected accounts

I'm not sure about the functionality of "Show empty groups".
As I see it, it will show all existing groups (from all accounts, even not
connected ones) and groups from not connected accounts appear as empty.
IMHO, "empty groups" should always be shown for _my_ account (or to be
more specific, for each of the currently connected account).
Groups from other accounts have no reason to be shown there, since those
accounts are not connected. Hey, some of those accounts may even not be
mine.
By showing groups from other, not connected accounts, I get the option to
remove such a group. I get a dialog asking me if I am sure I want to
remove the group and all buddies in it. Then I say ok, remove it, and
nothing happens. The group is still there.
At first glance, it appears as a bug, removing groups does not work.
At second glance it becomes clear there is something missing from the GUI,
that is the previous dialog that should inform me that the group is from a
not connected account and cannot be removed unless I connect that account
as well.
