#5324: Duplicate account detection logic is faulty

 Duplicate account detection (see Ticket #2833) was added in 2.1.1, but the
 fix causes problems for users with two or more similar but not identical
 accounts.

 An example is below. The first account for morph at mydomain.com is on a
 corporate Jabber server hosted inhouse.

 Mydomain.com is hosted at Google Apps For My Domain (see
 http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/business/applications.html).  The
 config for that user on Google Apps For My Domain to use GoogleTalk is
 shown second.

 Pidgin prevents the user from adding the second account with the message
 'Unable to save account. An account already exists with the specified
 criteria'.

 <account>
                 <protocol>prpl-jabber</protocol>
                 <name>morph at mydomain.com/Office</name>
                 <password>blah</password>
                 <settings>
                         <setting name='connect_server'
 type='string'>corpjabber.mydomain.com</setting>
                 </settings>

 <account>
                 <protocol>prpl-jabber</protocol>
                 <name>morph at mydomain.com/Google</name>
                 <password>foo</password>

                 <settings>
                 <setting name="connect_server"
 type="string">talk.google.com</setting>

                 </settings>
                 </account>
