Comment:

 Right, so we can rule out anything that works differently depending on
 what the buddies status is, what the groups status is, etc.

 A message where? pidgin doesn't currently display transient messages. We
 could use the mini-dialog space in the buddy list (where we currently
 display either the mail notifications or the authorization requests) but
 those would still require manual dismissal and gets us back to the
 confirming success issue.

 Even if pidgin had transient message support like what the guifications
 and libnotify plugins add I would hesitate to use them for that because it
 would severly diminish the importance associated with those notifications
 (people can currently somewhat reasonably assume that *something* of
 interest has happened when one of those plugins creates a notification
 popup, if we started notifying for simple successes like this that would
 no longer be a reasonable assumption).

 As always, I'm open to further ideas but I really think we are trying to
 solve something that is essentially a non-issue.
