Comment (by deryni):
There is absolutely no reason to add an account that is used on only one
account to all accounts, I have over 6 accounts connected *at work* and
easily twice that at home and I'm on the low end of pidgin developers. So
adding it to all accounts is just a hugely unnecessary amount of traffic.
Groups in pidgin are not associated with accounts, doing so would
unnecessarily complicate many things and/or require gross hacks like the
one you proposed and I refuted above to work at all usefully.
Sharing a single pidgin configuration with multiple people is exactly a
misuse of the client, it is not designed for that, and you can easily use
multiple configuration directories even without setting up multiple OS
users (which is the right way to do this) by using the -c flag to pidgin.
