Comment (by deryni):

 My comment about the inappropriateness of the tab right-click menu is that
 the tab is not the chat room let alone the user in the room. The tab is an
 interface mechanism by which you multiplex conversations into the same
 window. You will notice if you right-click the tab in pidgin currently the
 available options all relate to tab functionality and not to tab content
 functionality. This is a distinction I feel is correct. I am less certain
 in my claims about the input and history areas, but I do believe I am
 right that they are also less than optimal for this sort of thing. If we
 were to have an MSN-like "this is who you are" pane in the window (similar
 to the infopane) then that would be a most appropriate place for such
 features, but I think most people (myself included) would find this
 unhelpful at best (and horribly annoying at worst).
