Comment (by deryni):

 It is grousing if you don't suggest workable improvements. I have already
 explained why pidgin does not (and in reality) cannot have a 'simple'
 disconnect button, but the 'disable' button *does* exist in the
 Accounts->accountname submenu which is exactly what you praise miranda and
 sim for having, so use that if you want to. As I just mentioned (for the
 second time) in the other ticket, if you really want easier per-account
 status control (not just online/offline) you are free to use the
 mystatusbox plugin, or write your own plugin to do it (the API is all
 there). The Accounts menu in pidgin is expressely not designed for status
 control (it was in the original mockups but proved too cluttered and
 confusing, especially in light of the status selector).
