Comment (by kamil.paral):

 Today I have been really surprised, when I got a question from my close
 friend, programmer in several languages, linux/freebsd/solaris
 administrator, kernel developer, simply very advanced IT guru - "what I
 use to connect to Jabber in GNOME (he uses KDE regularly) because Pidgin
 supports every shitty protocol except Jabber".

 I think people's point of view is strongly influenced by people's
 environment. In your environment, your approach may be correct. In my
 environment, you are losing a lot of users. I don't expect you will
 understand that, you are living in another environment. And I have seen
 your reactions. I'm just annoyed by this situation, so I'm whining here.

 No, all that matters is new account window. This bug is only about one
 string changed in one place.
