Summary: Gaim 2.0: Connection buttons hard to use

Initial Comment:
I've noticed that in some ways the new connection 
status buttons are harder to use than the old popups 
(which I agree should be removed) because of they 
confusing way they display.

I think an auto-hide behavior for the buttons might 
make them easier to use. When each connection is still 
in the "connecting" state, they'll stay showing. When 
it's finished connecting, it'll hide. If the connection 
errors then the button can stay visible (so the user 
can figure out what to do) or maybe hide itself after 
some amount of time.

As it is, it's hard to deal with errors and connections 
because the individual buttons are hard to use (I've 
seen a lot of people on IRC who were very confused 
about the buttons).

i agree that the icons should be smaller... if i want to see
my account i need to much space - espallaly if under each
account is this textbox.
Sometimes it is there, sometimes not. For now i didn't
understand why...

The best solution would be more options for the the hole
stuff so everybudy can set the look and feel the way he wants.

and it would be nice to add a way to disable a account in
the buddylist =)

I'd suggest fully hiding the per-account selectors and only
looking at them if you really need them.

The connection icons should be much smaller, there is no
need to have such a huge icon for the connection/status list
in the  buddy list window.
