#13477: Stop prepending underscores to UI strings
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 The add_protocol_options function in pidgin/gtkaccount.c automatically
 adds an underscore to the start of strings to set an accelerator key.
 This leads to overlapping accelerators in the UI and leads to suboptimal
 accelerator key choices.

 I think it'd be better to not auto-prepend the underscore, and instead put
 the underscores directly in the strings in question.  Non-Pidgin UIs will
 need to be changed to strip the underscores from these strings (or replace
 them with something meaningful to their UI toolkit).
