#14777: Show connection errors directly in Chat window

I do not use tabbed chat crap, I demand separate chat windows for
everybody.[[BR]]
I also use a proxy.
Due to proxy, I sometimes get DCd (disconnected). The worst part is, that
I won't know it, until I open up Contacts list / main window to see if
there's an network error message.
Today, for example, I got DCd 4 times. First I didn't even understand, why
my chatbuddy won't respond, until I opened up the main window, which said
that I got disconnected due to network error. It's really annoying to
manually check the main window, after every 10 minutes, for a possible
network error message and then manually Reconnect again.
The even queerer part is, that after a while of messing with the reconnect
button and re-entering my password, my account gets disabled in Pidgin, so
I have to re-enable my account for login again.. why's that for? Maybe
good for security, but the only one who uses my computer is me and that
security tweak doesn't check if there's a proxy in use.
I request:[[BR]]
'''1.''' Display all network error messages in Chat window.[[BR]]
'''2.''' Make Pidgin reconnect automatically on error, 3
retries.[[BR]]Display all of that too in chat window.[[BR]]
'''3.''' Remove account disabling bollocks.
'''4.''' Will you ever encrypt the password file?[[BR]]
It doesn't need to have military encryption, just be unreadable without
using any special decryption tools.
