Comment (by TacBoy):

 " As I noted in another ticket related to the automatic resizing, we had
  similar numbers of complaints about our changes to the buddy list and
  status UIs in the transition from 1.5.0 to 2.0.0.  The complaints died
  down after several weeks.  The loss of protocol icons as status
 indicators
  is a dead issue and has been for many months now.  The change to a status
  selector that is a first-class citizen in the buddy list window also
  caused some friction that died down after a short time.  The same will
  happen with the input area resizing given time."

 My friend and system administrator who sold me on using Pidgin STILL
 complains today about the icon changes. And cites that as why posting on
 this ticket is pointless since the developers won't listen. Just because
 people stopped saying anything doesn't mean they were happy about it...
 just that they realized the fruitlessness of saying anything.

 Don't misperceive acceptance for happiness.
