--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 I have created a Perl script http://mcepl.fedorapeople.org/scripts/open-
 chats-from-xmpp-bookmarks.pl which opens chatrooms according to XMPP
 bookmarks stored on the Jabber server. Now, I would like to extend this
 script to synchronize buddy list with the server.

 In order to minimize changes in UI, I would like just to add two procedure
 which would store/remove chatroom to the server, whenever new chatroom is
 added/deleted from the buddy list.

 However, when looking at [http://developer.pidgin.im/doxygen/dev/html
 /blist-signals.html Buddy List Signals] I see only
 [http://developer.pidgin.im/doxygen/dev/html/blist-signals.html#buddy-
 added buddy-added] and [http://developer.pidgin.im/doxygen/dev/html/blist-
 signals.html#buddy-removed buddy-removed] which seem to work with the new
 personal contacts added to the buddy list, not with chatrooms.

 So, either chatroom-{added,removed} should be introduced, or generic
 blist-item-{added,removed} signals would be helpful.
