 This is a sister bug to bug 7548.

 This patch will make the 'Add/Modify Account' dialog fit the smaller form
 factor of today's netbooks (~1280x576).

 The only problem protocol was SILC, whose many many options made the
 dialog too large vertically.

 To work around this, I did the following:

 * Move proxy settings to their own tab (as discussed on mailing list)

 * Took away the header labels for Proxy and Protocol options, because they
 were the only sections on their tabs

 * Tweaked the borders of a couple boxes.  Notably, I reduced the dialog's
 total border and the spacing between the content and dialog-button boxes.
 This involved a change from PIDGIN_HIG_BORDER to PIDGIN_HIG_BOX_SPACE.
 Now, this may seem like a break from HIG, but it actually makes the dialog
 *respect* the HIG. Before, I was getting ~20 pixel border, and the dialog
 buttons were swimming in space.  It seems GTK+ insists on adding some of
 its own spacing around the place.  By reducing the assigned border, it now
 is 12 pixels around the edge of the dialog, and about 20 around the dialog
 buttons.  Those dialog buttons seem to insist on lots of space.  This same
 fix might want to be applied elsewhere?  The other dialogs in pidgin seem
 roomy to me.  Do I just have some crazy theme that is doing this (Human on
 Ubuntu)?
