Comment (by Nukkels):

 I'll sign this petition too. Due to ICQ changing something, I had to
 update to a newer version of Pidgin and get greeted with this PITA.

 Pros:
 - it's in the text window which *might* be useful to some people

 Cons:
 - it's in the text window which doesn't help if they're a
 slow/intermittent typist
 - the missing icon at the top
 - lack of buddy name colour indication
 - difficult to notice (could add bold/colour/bg)
 - bumps up the text one line
