 In conversation window, user has an option to hide the buddy icon from the
 context menu  on the icon itself.

 Right-click on buddy icon -> hide icon.

 However, once hidden, there is no UI available to show it again.
 The icon will be visible only in the popup tooltip and in the buddy list.

 It requires a program restart to see that buddy icon again in the
 conversation window.
