#11685: "Degraded" systray icon decoration

 I frequently switch computers, going from my work PC to my home PC, to my
 laptop (mix of Win7 and WinXP).  I have Pidgin installed on all of them.
 When I switch from one computer to another, I sometimes don't remember to
 double-click the systray icon in order to re-enable my 4 accounts (AIM,
 MSN, Yahoo, corporate Jabber) on that computer.  Hence, I can end up
 working for hours without realizing that I'm not reachable via IM.

 I think this situation would be helped greatly if there was a systray icon
 decoration to indicate a "degraded" level of service (i.e., one or more
 accounts is disabled).  Upon seeing the modified icon (instead of the
 green icon which seems to indicate "all is well"), I would be reminded to
 re-enable my accounts.
