Yes. This is a primary focus of Pidgin -- connecting you with people, not protocol-specific buddies. If you right-click a buddy in your buddy list and select 'Expand', the buddy will split into a contact with a single buddy in it. You can then drag another buddy (or contact) onto that contact to merge the two. I believe, but am not certain without trying, that you can also drag a buddy over another buddy and simply hold it there until it expands. There are some explanations for how contacts and selection work in the FAQ. Ethan
