 I recently did a purge of my buddy list, removed a bunch of buddies that i
 never talk to anymore, that kind of stuff.

 Now, i did this on my linux machine. I also use pidgin on windows, another
 linux machine, and a windows laptop. After my purging of my buddy list, i
 was treated to this sight after i logged into pidgin on each of my other
 computers:

 This is a highly ineffective way of letting the user know of buddy list
 sync issues,and can be improved....especially in cases where there are a
 lot of buddies (like in my screen shot, and in the taskbar, i have 50 of
 those windows!)

 Maybe have a central window saying there are the following buddy list
 synchronization issues, then have a list (all contained in one window with
 a scroll bar) of all the buddies, what protocol they are using, and then
 like a radio button or check box for 'erase from the local list' and 'add
 to the server list', that way we can avoid the pop up spam like i
 experienced.
