#10475: system-tray "accounts logged in" indication

---------------------------------------+------------------------------------
 The system-tray icon for pidgin already changes depending on whether
 you're available, away, invisible, etc.  It seems that it could be further
 differentiated based on which accounts are presently logged in.

 An example of when this would be useful is when a user has logged-out of
 their personal IM accounts while remaining logged-in to their work IM
 accounts.  Presently, they receive misleading confirmation from the icon
 that they are 'available' even though that's only true for some of their
 accounts.

 Given the circular nature of the indicator icon, I'd say dividing it into
 a pie-chart for the accounts would be a good way of handling this.  You
 could be two parts available and three parts logged out, for example.
