 Please add Windows OLE (or whatever it's called these days) support so
 that I can paste images with Ctrl-V.  Many programs have some way to
 convert the object on the clipboard into an image, Pidgin should take
 advantage of this.

 For example, I should be able to hit Ctrl-PrtSc to get a screen capture,
 and then hit Ctrl-V in Pidgin so I can send an copy of my screen to
 someone.

 If I have cut part of an excel spreadsheet, I should be able to paste at
 least an image of it into pidgin.

 Bonus points: support paste and display of Lotus notes database links (so
 I can send a link to someone like I can with sametime).  If I send a link
 with sametime to pidgin I get some HTML on the pidgin side:

 <NDL>
 <REPLICA 85256602:0047D2EA>
 <HINT>CN=d03db013/OU=03/OU=A/O=IBM</HINT>
 <REM>Hello this is a test database</REM>
 </NDL>

 Which is displayed like this: "Notes://d03db013/852566020047D2EA/"
 which I can double-click on to open the database.
