Comment(by manski):

 I do have the same "problem" with the authorization popup/dialog (whatever
 you may call it). For me it looks like this:

 [[Image(pidgin-auth-problem.png)]]

 Sorry for it being German but basically it says:

   21506xxxx wants to add 28742xxxx to his or her buddy list

 And as the OP said this is almost useless since it only says that there is
 an authorization but makes it hard to determine for which protocol and who
 wants to be authorized.

 It should say instead:

   John Doe (21506xxxx) wants to add you (28742xxxx) to his or her buddy
 list

 Additionally the protocol icon should be displayed (as the OP suggested).

 And as for the button for a chat or info window about the buddy: Maybe
 this could be implemented as "hyperlink" on the buddys name. This way no
 additional space for a new button would be needed.
