#10962: Reconnection message should display the account type

 Currently, whenever we get a connection problem, pidgin displays a
 "username disconnected" message at the bottom of the contact list,
 including a few details.

 However, it is not clear WHAT account has been disconnected. This is
 specially true for people who use the same username for multiple accounts
 (in my case, the same e-mail for XMPP and MSN).

 I have two small suggestions for improving this message:

 1. Add an icon to the message, showing which account type has been
 affected.

 2. Also add the name of the account type (XMPP, MSN, ICQ, ...) to the
 message title.

 These additions will greatly increase the usability, displaying clearly to
 the user what has happened.


 I think the same issue also affects the "authorize buddy?" message.
