 I have two AIM accounts enabled, with some of the same buddies on both
 buddy lists.  If I'm in an instant messaging conversation with one of
 these shared buddies with one Account, and then disable that account, the
 buddy is shown as off line  (in the IM Conversation Title) as the
 initiating account is now off line.

 I would imagine that the current behavior of the client software is by
 intentional design.

 A more elegant user experience could be achieved, if the IM Conversation
 window could be gracefully switched to the AIM account that remains
 online, eliminating the need to return to your buddy list and re-initiate
 a conversation with the user.

 Thoughs?
