 Manually hiding one buddy's "Icon" (buddy icon/display
 picture/avatar/whateveryacallit) doesn't take effect immediately in the
 taskbar as well. However, clicking a different tab (which may not always
 be open) and back will then show the status icon in the taskbar. Is it
 possible to make this apply immediately or is this some limitation of GTK?

 Some clarification: by "taskbar" I mean the icon in the taskbar, next to
 the current window/tab's name. By "manually hiding" I mean right clicking
 an icon inside a tab and choosing the context menu option "Hide Icon".

 Visually, this is a simple but, at best, annoying bug.

 My install information: Ubuntu 7.10, Pidgin 2.2.1, Gnome 2.20.1

 Thank you for taking the time to develop and read feedback as such :D
 Bravo!
