#3026: Changing groups with account disabled doubles buddies upon re-enabling
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  imiganai   |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new        |   Priority:  minor 
Component:  libpurple  |    Version:  2.1.1 
 Keywords:             |    Pending:  0

 Bit of a weird bug:[[BR]]
 1) I have an MSN and AIM account.  For various reasons I had AIM
 disabled.[[BR]]
 2) I changed the names of a few of the groups[[BR]]
 3) Multiple pidgin restarts later, I re-enabled the AIM account[[BR]]
 4) That session, buddies appeared twice in lists, in the old category name
 and in the renamed category.[[BR]]
 5) Assuming duplication, I deleted the old categories again[[BR]]
 6) Upon next restart of Pidgin, the AIM buddies that had their category
 changed were deleted[[BR]]
 7) Thanks to [http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/3025 this] I had to put
 them back by hand.

 libpurple isn't splitting up group renames based on active accounts, it
 seems (easiest solution, especially in the case where different people use
 the same application and don't want one group rename affecting the other)
