 (valid for pidgin&winpidgin)

 When in conversation window, typing a message, the "Insert" key toggles
 between "INSERT" and "OVERWRITE" behaviour of the text entry field.

 A visual cue to show which behaviour is currently active would be nice.

 Suggestion : for "overwrite" behaviour, make the cursor like a block
 instead of the usual vertical line. (some editors use this scheme so that
 the UI doesn't get too overloaded)
