At this point I think a fork is the way to go. Usability does suffer a bit
when you're stuck behind a couple levels of menus. But let me reiterate that
it is absolutely awesome that purple-otr exists.
I would really prefer one plugin for pidgin, not two. It would be nice
if the gtk stuff can be layered on top of the purple-otr ?
I think that would be ideal. At the moment it seems to me this would require
some dlopen/dlsym tricks to discover what environment the plugin is in.
