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.
