Summary: Simplify disconnect messages to an animated icon

Initial Comment:
The disconnect messages not being popups is a great improvement.  I think the 
information displayed on the Buddy List window is still more detailed than is 
necessary though. Could all the detailed information be moved to the Log 
window?  and perhaps just change the disconnected networks to animated icons? 
(as ICQ animates a flower to indicate it is connecting etc)

The messages I see on the display are as follows.

1st example:
[Jabber NA icon] [EMAIL PROTECTED]/Gaim disconnected: Couldn't connect to host

[ICQ NA icon] 1111111 disconnected: Could not connect to authentication server: 
Error resolving login.oscar.aol.com: 11004


2nd example:
[Jabber NA icon] [EMAIL PROTECTED]/Gaim disconnected: Read Error

[ICQ NA icon] 1111111 disconnected: lost connection with server: Windows socket 
error #10054

I think you can see they are quite technical, and most users would not 
understand this as well as an icon indicating it was reconnecting.
