 reverse your logic), but leaving it would avoid all the migration code.
 Well, after getting this feature in, "show offline" will not be that clear
 . To me that would be "show all online buddies + show buddies that not
 hidden by the plugin + offline buddies" -- which could be not *all*
 buddies.

 But yeah, taking a note from your point --- though not perfect but --- I
 can use the same keys (show_offline and show_offline_buddies) to store the
 values. Guess that should be okay!?!?
