Comment:

 Ivan and I both like these suggestions:
  1. In the "ABC wants to add XYZ" message, make "ABC" a hyperlink to ABC's
 profile (the one Pidgin shows after clicking "Get Info" on ABC in the
 buddy list).
  1. Instead of the stock question mark, display ABC's protocol icon.

 We did add an X button a while back, and it can be used to "ignore" a
 request.  However, not all probably supports ignore requests.  For these
 protocols we should probably not show the "x," or clicking the "x" should
 send a negative reply to the auth request.  I also think it would be more
 clear if we had an "Ignore" button instead of, or in addition to, the X.
