Comment(by deryni):

 Adding yourself to your own buddy list is a bit of a hack on a number of
 protocols, that is pidgin needs to fake the presence information because
 the protocol doesn't deliver it to us and/or doesn't allow adding of the
 user to the server side buddy list at all.

 I dislike the tooltip idea because I don't think it scales well enough to
 be useful. I also do not fully understand the need to frequently see ones
 own status. I would much sooner suggest that a plugin be written to add
 pseudo-buddy list entries for each account in an 'Accounts' group which
 would then allow useful actions on right-click as well as a simple display
 of status and icon.
