Comment(by deryni):

 What I meant was that on a number of protocols (MSN and XMPP for starters)
 you are not allowed to add yourself to your buddy list. The servers do not
 handle it (actually, this may be changing now for XMPP, but it was
 historically the case). That means that adding yourself to your buddy list
 to see your own status is largely protocol dependent. pidgin attempts to
 work around this by pretending that adding yourself works on all
 protocols, that is the MSN and XMPP protocol plugins have code in them to
 make it look like the server sent you your own status information (when it
 has not done so).

 Your screen shot only has two accounts enabled. I currently have nine
 accounts here at work (and a couple more when I log in from home) A
 tooltip with that many accounts in it would be decidedly unwieldy.

 Any action that can be taken on a per-account basis. Changing status,
 setting a buddy icon, setting a display name, anything else in the
 Accounts-><account name>->sub menus, etc. could all be added to the right-
 click menu of the account entry.
