Comment:

 I'm considering changing the name of the 'Advanced' tab to 'Protocol' (to
 match the protocol dropdown label) which should at least give some
 indication that they may be connected.

 I don't like the idea of an advanced button, I feel like it would invite
 more curiosity than the current tab does (though that may be just me, and
 I'm open to being told I'm wrong about this).

 I'm still debating what I think of moving the dropdown to the top of the
 window and I may end up just doing that, but I feel like that would be
 only part of a real solution. I feel like there should be a better
 redesign of the add account dialog possible.
