Comment (by deryni):
A menu of that sort quickly stops scaling when you have more than one
account connected, especially when you consider that pidgin would need to
list every group that pidgin knows about (that is every group that any
account in pidgin has ever had). Groups in pidgin are not tied to
accounts, that is how you can have buddies from more than one account in
the same group. If you have four accounts each with nine groups (as far as
each account is concerned) the dropdown menu in pidgin would be 36 entries
long, which I trust you understand is even less useful than needing to
drag and drop. (For reference, here at work where I have significantly
less accounts set up than at home, I have 19 groups.) Since groups have
become single click the effort required to collapse/expand them really is
minimal. A plugin to add a dropdown like this is likely the best way to do
it.
