Comment (by an_anon):

 Replying to [comment:1 deryni]:
 > The Buddies->Show->Protocol Icons option in the buddy list will do this
 for you assuming you have the infopane in conversation windows turned on
 (yes, not entirely obvious but the infopane is designed to look like a
 buddy list entry so it makes sense).

 Hmm, was there some confusion with terminology? By "account icon", I meant
 the user's own avatar/buddy icon, not the protocol icon.

 > That said the plugin looks mostly fine though I would recommend getting
 rid of the empty deleted callback since you aren't using it

 Ah, I left it in because I thought I might have to free something.

 > you aren't handling contactized conversation windows at all (if you have
 a combined contact in the buddy list the conversation window will switch
 between those buddies as needed but I don't think your plugin would update
 to match).

 Could you elaborate a little more?

 > Out of curiosity why do you want this anyway?

 Just want to make the interface more YIM-y, since I like how it shows both
 people's avatars as opposed to Pidgin which only shows the other person's.
 Also so I can convince a friend to move from YIM to Pidgin.
